History

In 1956, AD Cartaya were formed by Ayamonte native José Díaz Luna. Prior to AD Cartaya's formation, a number of clubs, notably Juventud and UD Cartaya, had represented the town. At the end of the 1980s, following the death of club president Luis Rodríguez Salvador, Cartaya suffered financial difficulties. In 1999, Cartaya achieved promotion to the Tercera División under the management of Juan Palma.^[1] After the 2009–10 season, they were relegated two divisions, from Tercera División to Regional Preferente, due to the club's economic limitations.^[2] In 2021, Cartaya won the División de Honor Andaluza, gaining promotion to the Tercera División RFEF.^[3]

Ground

In 2005, Cartaya moved to the Estadio Luis Rodríguez Salvador.^[4] In March 2016, the Estadio Luis Rodríguez Salvador hosted three games for the 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification stages.^[5]
