History
[edit]Founded in 1965 by Obispo D. Manuel Llopis, as a sporting section of the Colegio Diocesano de Cáceres, the club later started to sign players who were not inscribed in the school.[3] Initially focused in youth football, the club played four seasons as a senior between 1992 and 1996 before returning to youth football.
In 2011, Diocesano merged with ACD Ciudad de Cáceres, taking their seat in the Regional Preferente. In 2017, the club achieved promotion to Tercera División for the first time ever.[4]
