Agrupación Deportiva Ceuta Fútbol Club is a Spanish football club based in the autonomous city of Ceuta. Founded in 1956, it plays in Primera División RFEF – Group 2.
History
The club was found in 1956, after a merger between Sociedad Deportiva Ceuta and Atlético Tetuán, under the name of Club Atlético de Ceuta. It eventually took the place of Tetuán in Segunda División, remaining in the category for six campaigns.
After a one-year spell in Tercera División, Atlético Ceuta returned to the second level and enjoyed a further five seasons before suffering relegation in 1968. The club subsequently fluctuated between the fourth and fifth levels, staying in the former for a short amount of time.
After being promoted to the fourth division in 2012 due to an administrative relegation, Atlético Ceuta tried to merge with AD Ceuta. However, due to the latter's high debts, the club remained under the same name, but with the staff and players of the Agrupación Deportiva.
In 2013, the club was officially named Agrupación Deportiva Ceuta Fútbol Club, inheriting AD Ceuta's colours and logo.
After the 2020–21 Tercera División season, Ceuta won with an added-time goal in the playoff final against Xerez CD to win promotion to the new Segunda División RFEF, albeit still the fourth tier of Spanish football. The team stayed in that league for only one season, achieving promotion to the Primera Federación with a 2–0 playoff final win away to AD Unión Adarve; this put them in the third tier for the first time since 1970.
Manager Chus Trujillo, who oversaw the promotion, was dismissed on 19 September 2022 having lost all of the first four games of the 2022–23 Primera Federación season. He was replaced by José Juan Romero in his second spell at the club. The team defeated UD Ibiza of the Segunda División (3–2) and Elche CF of La Liga (1–0) to reach a best-ever last 16 of the Copa del Rey in the same season; there, they lost 5–0 at home to FC Barcelona. Striker Rodri finished the season with 20 goals, the most in the league.
