Extremadura

Extremadura Union Deportiva is a Spanish football team based in Almendralejo, in the autonomous community of Extremadura. Founded in 2007 it plays in Primera Division RFEF – Group 1, holding home games at Estadio Francisco de la Hera.

History

Extremadura Union Deportiva was founded in 2007, as the existing CF Extremadura club was experiencing serious financial problems, which would lead to its folding three years later.

In only three seasons, the club reached the third division of Spanish football, having won in the 2010 playoffs against Atletico Mancha Real in June 2010. However, it finished 19th and last (due to AD Cerro de Reyes Badajoz Atletico retiring from competition) in its first campaign, being immediately relegated back.

Extremadura won their fourth-tier group in 2013, qualifying for the Copa del Rey for the first time. There, they lost 2–1 at home to Albacete Balompie in the first round.

In 2016, Extremadura were promoted again to Segunda Division B with a 2–0 aggregate play-off win over UB Conquense.
