History
[edit | edit source]Agrupación Deportiva Ceuta, another team from the city, was founded in 1972 and folded in 1991. The club played once in the Segunda División, in 1980–81.
In 1997 Asociación Deportiva Ceuta was born, reaching the third level in only two years; in its first decades of existence, it appeared – without success – in five second division promotion play-offs.
On 1 July 2012, Ceuta was relegated to the Tercera División for unpaid wages to its players.[1]
After 2011–12 season, the club was administratively relegated to Regional Preferente de Ceuta due to unpaid wages from the previous season. Shortly after, club was disbanded with a €600,000 total debt.[2] In 2013, a new club called Agrupación Deportiva Ceuta Fútbol Club was founded to inherit the club's history.
