History
The club was founded on 9 April 1945. Numancia was named after the ancient Celtiberian town of Numantia, near where Soria would be later founded. Having spent a long time in the Tercera Division, the club made consistent progress, reaching the first division on three occasions: 1999, 2004 and 2008.
The club became first widely known in Spain in 1995–96, while still playing at the third level, for its extraordinary run in the Spanish Cup, eliminating three top flight clubs (Real Sociedad, Racing de Santander and Sporting de Gijon) and only being knocked out in the quarter-finals by Barcelona, after Numancia drew in the first leg and took the lead in the second.
