History
CF Villanovense was founded in 1992 with the aim to replace dissolved CD Villanovense. Initially, the club was named Sport Club Villanueva de la Serena with players wearing blue and white vertically striped t-shirts.[2] In the 2014–15 season, the club played for the first time the promotion play-offs to Segunda División, being eliminated in the first round by Bilbao Athletic.[3]
The following season, the team reached the last 32 of the Copa del Rey, where they faced reigning league, cup and European champions Barcelona. Despite holding the Catalans to a goalless draw in the first leg at home, they lost 6–1 on aggregate.[4]
In the 2016–17 season, Villanovense qualified again for the promotion play-offs, but after beating Fuenlabrada in the first round, they were eliminated by Racing de Santander.
