Club Deportivo Unionistas de Salamanca Club de Fútbol is a Spanish football club based in Salamanca, in the autonomous community of Castile and León. Founded in 2013, it currently plays in Tercera División.
History
After UD Salamanca's dissolution, a group of supporters founded Unionistas de Salamanca Club de Fútbol, a fan-based club created mainly to preserve UDS' memory.[1] After the club's creation, people like Vicente del Bosque[2] and Dani Rovira[3] became associates.
On 2 September 2014 Unionistas was inscribed in Primera Provincial de Salamanca, the sixth level of Spanish football.[4] A day later it played their first official match, a 0–1 friendly loss against UD Santa Marta.[5]
Unionistas achieved promotion to Primera Regional in April 2015, after defeating Real Salamanca Monterrey.[6] Just one year later, it was promoted to Tercera División by beating CD Onzonilla.
The first season of the club in the Spanish fourth division was successful, as it ended in the third position of the Castile and León group and qualified to the promotion play-offs to Segunda División B.
