CD Laudio

Club Deportivo Laudio de Fútbol San Rokezar is a Spanish football team based in Laudio/Llodio, in the autonomous community of Basque Country. Founded in 1927 it plays in División de Honor, holding home matches at Estadio Ellakuri, which has a capacity of 3.500 spectators.

History

Founded in 1927 as SD Llodiana or SD Llodio, the club started playing in 1934 before changing name to CD Villosa in 1940. The club joined the Biscay Federation in 1945, and first reached Tercera División in 1954.

In 1972, Villosa switched name back to SD Llodio, but suffered relegation from the third division in the following year. In 2002, after only a further appearance in Tercera (now the fourth tier), the club was renamed CD Llodio Salleko. A year later, they managed to achieve promotion to division four.

In 2006, Llodio Salleko was renamed CD Laudio Fútbol San Rokezar. In 2012 the club won its group, but lost 3–0 on aggregate in the playoff final to San Fernando CD. In winning that group, the club qualified for the first time to the Copa del Rey, where they lost in the first round at home by a single goal to neighbours SD Eibar.

Again the group winners, Laudio made the playoffs in 2013 and defeated Mar Menor FC in the final via a goal from Germán Beltrán. In the subsequent cup run, they dispatched Real Unión and Écija Balompié before a penalty shootout elimination in the third round at home to CD Olímpic de Xàtiva.

Laudio's only season in Segunda División B in 2013–14 ended with relegation in 17th place. However, the club was given a further demotion back to the regional leagues due to wage backlogs of €200,000 to its players.
