Mérida Asociación Deportiva, S.A.D. is a Spanish football club based in Mérida, in the autonomous community of Extremadura. Founded in 2013, it currently plays in Segunda División B – Group 4.

History

Mérida UD was dissolved in 2013 and Mérida AD bought their place in Tercera División.[1]

On 30 May 2015, the club was promoted to Segunda División B after defeating CD Laredo in the playoffs.[2] On 27 August that year, the team competed in the Copa del Rey for the first time, losing 0–3 at home to Peña Sport FC in the opening round.[3]

In 2017–18, the club were given a bye to the second round of the cup, where they lost 2–0 at CF Fuenlabrada.[4] The season ended with relegation back to the fourth tier after a 2–2 aggregate defeat (away goals) to Coruxo FC in the relegation play-offs.[5]
