History
CF Villanovense was founded in 1992 with the aim to replace dissolved CD Villanovense. 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.[2]
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.[3]
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 4–2 on aggregate despite winning the first leg.[4]
Villanovense again made the last 32 of the Copa del Rey in 2018–19, losing by a single André Silva goal to top-flight Sevilla.[5] The league campaign ended with relegation to the Tercera División, bouncing back immediately in July 2020 with a playoff victory over Cacereño; despite a 1–1 draw in the final, they advanced as seeds having won the group.[6]
