Xerez Club Deportivo, S.A.D. is a Spanish football league teams from Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia. Founded on September 24 1947, Xerex CD will play the 2009–10 season in La Liga for its first time. Its reserve team is Xerez CD B, currently playing in Primera Andaluza.

History

Due to the link between Jerez de la Frontera and the United Kingdom created by the exports of sherry (Jerez in Spanish language), football had its beginnings in the region towards the second half of the 1800s. In the early 1900s, Sir Thomas Spencer, whom worked with the William & Humbert winery, founded (also being chairman, player and captain) Sociedad Jerez Foot-Ball Club.

From 1942-47, Xerex CD had several names, ending with Jerez Club Deportivo, which was changed to the current name in 1960s. Xerez first reached the Segunda División in 1953-54, remaining there for five years. After decades in that category and also in Segunda División B, it had a Segunda División 2001-02 which almost resulted in an historic La Liga promotion, the year after ascending another level. Xerex CD seemed certain to gain promotion all season, but ultimately failed after a dramatic loss of form towards the end of the season, only notching four points in the last eight matches.

Since then, Xerez have finished in the top 10 in the division each campaign, except in the Segunda División 2007-08, when a weak start led to a 15th place finish. Segunda División 2008-09 proved excellent, as Xerex CD was always in the top positions. On June 13, 2009, after beating SD Huesca 2-1 at home, it achieved promotion to the top division for the first time in its history. In the final day of the competition, a draw at Celta de Vigo proved enough for the title, as CD Tenerife lost 1-2 home to CD Castellón, in the final minute.
