**Extremadura Unión Deportiva** was a [Spanish football team](/source/List_of_football_clubs_in_Spain) based in [Almendralejo](/source/Almendralejo), in the autonomous community of [Extremadura](/source/Extremadura). Founded in 2007, it last played in [Primera División RFEF](/source/Primera_Divisi%C3%B3n_RFEF) – Group 1, holding home games at *[Estadio Francisco de la Hera](/source/Estadio_Francisco_de_la_Hera)*.

## History

*Extremadura Unión Deportiva* was founded in 2007,[2] as the existing [CF Extremadura](/source/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](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B) of [Spanish football](/source/Spanish_football_league_system), having won in the 2010 playoffs against [Atlético Mancha Real](/source/Atl%C3%A9tico_Mancha_Real) in June 2010.[3] However, it [finished 19th and last](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B) (due to [AD Cerro de Reyes Badajoz Atlético](/source/AD_Cerro_de_Reyes_Badajoz_Atl%C3%A9tico) 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](/source/Copa_del_Rey) for the first time. There, they lost 2–1 at home to [Albacete Balompié](/source/Albacete_Balompi%C3%A9) in the first round.[4]

In 2016, Extremadura were promoted again to Segunda División B with a [2–0 aggregate play-off win](/source/2016_Tercera_Divisi%C3%B3n_play-offs) over [UB Conquense](/source/UB_Conquense).[5] In 2018 the club was promoted for the first time to [Segunda División](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n) after defeating [FC Cartagena](/source/FC_Cartagena) 1–0 on aggregate in the last round of the [play-offs](/source/2018_Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_B_play-offs).[6]

One of the stars of Extremadura's promotion was [Enric Gallego](/source/Enric_Gallego), who arrived halfway through the season from [UE Cornellà](/source/UE_Cornell%C3%A0), and scored 15 goals in 19 games in his first professional campaign at the age of 32 before leaving for [La Liga](/source/La_Liga) club [SD Huesca](/source/SD_Huesca) in January 2019 for €2 million.[7] After falling into the relegation zone around that point in the season, the club fired [Rodri](/source/Rodri_(footballer%2C_born_1971)) and hired [Manuel Mosquera](/source/Manuel_Mosquera_(footballer%2C_born_1968)) who guided them to safety; the end of the campaign was also marked by the death of veteran winger [José Antonio Reyes](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Antonio_Reyes) in a car accident.[8]

In July 2020, Extremadura was relegated back to the third tier after losing by a single goal away to [Cádiz CF](/source/C%C3%A1diz_CF), amidst problems between the club president and shareholders.[9] The club faced financial difficulties during most of the [2021–22 season](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Primera_Divisi%C3%B3n_RFEF), with several players opting to leave during the winter transfer window.[10]

Extremadura changed ownership in January 2022,[11] but as the financial problems were unsolved, the players began a strike in February.[12] On 28 February, after two consecutive no-shows in the competition, the club was expelled from the division;[13] [RFEF](/source/Royal_Spanish_Football_Federation) confirmed the decision on 2 March, with the club being immediately relegated and being unavailable for promotion in the ensuing campaign.[14]

In May 2022, as the club was already in a liquidation process, a new club named [CD Extremadura 1924](/source/CD_Extremadura_1924) was founded in the city, with the goal of obtaining Extremadura UD's place in the [Segunda División RFEF](/source/Segunda_Divisi%C3%B3n_RFEF).[15]
