Club de Futbol Reus Deportiu, S.A.D. is a Spanish football team based in Reus, in the autonomous community of Catalonia. Founded in 1909, it plays in Segunda División, holding home games at Estadi Municipal, with a capacity of 4,700 seats.^[2]

History

CD Reus was founded on 23 November 1909 after the dissolution of Reus Sport Club. On 29 September 1917, the club merged with Club Velocipedista and SC Olímpia becoming the multi-sports club Reus Deportiu.

2015–16 squad, that achieved the promotion to Segunda División

In 1951, Reus Deportiu was restructured into two independent entities: CF Reus Deportiu, entirely dedicated to football, and Reus Deportiu, supporting the other sports ^[3], roller hockey being the most well known.

After several years playing in Segunda División B, Reus Deportiu qualified in 2015 to the promotion play-offs for the first time in its history. It was defeated in the second round by Racing Ferrol.

In 2015, the club reached the round of 32 of the 2015–16 Copa del Rey, where it was defeated by Atlético Madrid. In that season, the club also qualified to the promotion play-offs, this time as champion of the Segunda División B Group 3. In the first leg, Reus Deportiu beat Racing de Santander by 3–0 away, and achieved the first promotion ever to Segunda División after a 1–0 home win in the second leg.^[4]
