History

After the dissolution of UD Salamanca in 2013, some managers of the entity decided to refound the farm team to preserve the legacy of the historical club. With that aim, they created CD CF Salmantino. At first, it started playing in the same division as the old reserve team of Salamanca. Nevertheless, the Royal Spanish Football Federation decided in 2015 to relegate all the teams of the club to the lowest tier, as they considered the new CF Salmantino to be a newly-founded club, completely independent of UDS.

In the 2015–16 season, the first after the administrative relegation, the club was promoted to fifth tier, and repeated success for coming back to Tercera Division two years after the judicial statement.
