Llanera

Union Deportiva Llanera is a Spanish football club based in Posada de Llanera, in the autonomous community of Asturias. Founded in 1981, it plays in Segunda Division RFEF – Group 1, holding home matches at Estadio Pepe Quimaran.

History

The first team called UD Llanera was founded in 1961. This team played in Segunda Regional until the 1969–70, before being disbanded.

In 1981, two former players of the old club convinced Pepe Quimaran, whose name was given to the new stadium of the club, to create a new UD Llanera. In 1987 the club achieved its first promotion ever to Primera Regional.

From 1994 to 1997, the senior team of UD Llanera was disbanded, but the youth teams continued their activity.

In May 2016, after 35 years of playing in regional divisions, the club was promoted for the first time in its history to the Tercera Division.

Stadium

Estadio Las Huelgas was the first home stadium of UD Llanera. It was used until the construction of the new Estadio Pepe Quimaran.
