History

UP Langreo was founded on 4 July 1961, after the merge of local teams CP La Felguera and Racing de Sama, which had a fierce rivalry. The merge was made with the aim of overcoming from the rivalry between Sama and La Felguera not only in football, but in all areas.

In its first season, Langreo achieved promotion to Segunda Division, where it played during eight seasons out of the next ten years. Since its second relegation from Segunda to Tercera Division, the club always played between Tercera and Segunda Division B, the new third tier created in 1977, where UP Langreo played for the first time in its inaugural season.

In 1994, Langreo played the promotion playoffs to Segunda Division, but it finished in the last position of its group, composed also by CF Extremadura, AEC Manlleu and CD Numancia.
