Current season

Club Deportivo Badajoz, S.A.D. is a Spanish football team based in Badajoz, in the autonomous community of Extremadura. Founded in 1905, it plays in 2ªB - Group 1, holding home games at Estadio Nuevo Vivero, with a 15,200-seat capacity.

History

Founded after the merger of two clubs, named Racing and Sport, Badajoz became a serious member of the Spanish League in 1931, when Francisco Fernandes Marquesta donated the team their first ground, named El Vivero. Subsequently playing most of their history between the fourth and second divisions, the club achieved a consistent stay in the latter level during the 90's.

Never quite good enough to reach La Liga, 11 seasons in the second division came to an end in 2004, with relegation to Segunda División B. In 2006, Badajoz was saved from folding by the president of a junior club from the city, AD Cerro de Reyes Badajoz Atlético, who replaced them in the third level, with Badajoz falling to the fourth.
