Jerez Club de Fútbol is aSpanish football team based inJerez de los Caballeros, in the autonomous community ofExtremadura. Founded in 1969, it plays inTercera Federación – Group 14.
Jerez Club de Fútbol was formed in 1969, in the small historic town ofJerez de los Caballeros. The early years were spent in the regional leagues ofExtremadura, the club's first venture into theTercera División coming in the season 1984–85, which was however short-lived (immediate relegation).
The team returned a year later, and slowly began to improve performances, to the extent that by 1992–93 they reached the play-offs forthird level for the first time. Promotion via this way was to prove a tortuous affair however, with regular high finishes in the regular season amounting to nothing in the knockout stages: the first disappointment occurred in 1992–93 when, after finishing the season third, they lost 1–3 on aggregate toAtlético Malagueño.
Jerez won its firstTercera title in 1993–94, but only won two of six matches in the playoffs. The following season brought a second place behindDon Benito, and the playoffs elimination at the hands of rebornMálaga – the team finished third, behind Isla Cristina and abovePuertollano.
In 1995–96, Jerez finished second behindCacereño, recording impressive wins over Guarena (10–0, home) and atSanvicenteño (11–0, away); both clubs scored more than 120 goals during the campaign. In the playoffs, there was more of the same, with the club ranking third, with Guadix eventually being promoted. The following year brought its second fourth division title, but another playoff elimination, againstAndalusia's Isla Cristina.
After five successive failures in the play-offs, Jerez finally won promotion to the third category in 1998 (after renewing its regular season supremacy), after a 0–0 draw against Vélez. The1998–99 season was the first of seven consecutive seasons in the third division. Jerez finished 12th, after notable wins againstGranada (4–0),Sevilla B (5–0) andReal Jaén (1–2), for a total of 54 points (44 in the following, and four consecutive top ten finishes afterwards).
In2000–01, the competition was reduced to 36 games, followingPolideportivo Almería's disbanding, and Jerez finished ninth, with 47 points; the season's highest point was a 4–2 triumph at eventual championsCádiz (the club also obtained the same position in 2002–03).
The2003–04 season was Jerez's most successful in terms of points, and although the club finally ranked eighth, it battled for a play-off berth until the final few weeks of the season, and only conceded 29 league goals, second-best in its group, but lost valuable points in October/November 2003, with five consecutive draws.
The club's run in the third level came to an end inthe following season, which was almost entirely spent in the relegation zone, with Jerez failing to win any of its last six matches. In 2007 and 2008, it returned to the promotion play-offs, being defeated respectively byGavà (2–4 aggregate) andCiempozuelos (1–5). The club finished sixth in the2018–19 season in Tercera División, Group 14.[4]
