Club Deportivo Badajoz is aSpanish football team based inBadajoz, in the autonomous community ofExtremadura. Founded in 1905, it currently plays inTercera Federación – Group 14, and holds home games atEstadio Nuevo Vivero, with a 15,198-seat capacity.

Founded after the merger of two clubs, namedRacing andSport, Badajoz became a serious member of the Spanish League in 1931, when Francisco Fernandes Marquesta donated the team their first ground, namedEl Vivero. Subsequently, playing most of their history between thethird andsecond divisions, the club achieved a consistent stay in the latter level during the 1990s.

Never quite good enough to reachLa Liga, 11 seasons in the second division came to an end in 2003, with relegation toSegunda División B, the new third level created in 1977. In 2006, Badajoz was saved from folding by the president of a junior club from the city,AD Cerro de Reyes, who replaced them in the third level, with Badajoz falling to the fourth.

On 1 July 2012 Badajoz was relegated to division four, due to a €70,000 debt contracted with its players during the2011–12 season.^[1] being later disbanded through a liquidation process.^[2]

After the dissolution, the club was refounded by the supporters with the name ofClub Deportivo Badajoz 1905. This re-foundation achieved two consecutive promotions, immediately toTercera División and, at its third attempt, the club finally came back toSegunda División B on 25 June 2017 by beatingCD Calahorra in the last round of thepromotion play-offs.^[3] In2019–20, the team dispatchedSD Amorebieta,UD Las Palmas and La Liga clubSD Eibar to make the last 16 of theCopa del Rey for only the second time, before losing 3–2 toGranada CF afterextra time.^[4]

In2020–21, the final season ofSegunda B, Badajoz topped both of their groups to qualify for the newPrimera División RFEF, but lost by one goal to Amorebieta for a place in the second tier in theplay-off final.^[5]

CD Badajoz plays atEstadio Nuevo Vivero, which had a capacity of 15,200, expandable to 30,000. The club previously played atEstadio El Vivero in the east of the city, before moving a few kilometres south of theGuadiana in 1998 to the new facilities; the first match at the new grounds took place on 2 December 1998, in a friendly goalless match with neighboursCF Extremadura.

The stadium hosted two full internationals for thenational team. On 8 September 1999 Spain beatCyprus 8–0 in anUEFA Euro 2000qualifier; nearly seven years later, on 2 September 2006, the national side defeatedLiechtenstein 4–0 in thequalifying stages ofEuro 2008.
