01History
CD Laredo was founded in 1918 as Olimpia Sport Club. In 1927, the club folded, and Sociedad Deportiva Charleston Foot-ball Club was created to take their place. In 1932 the club won the Regional Final against Madrid of Santander (Racing reserve team) 4:1. That was a huge success in the beginning of its history. After the Spanish Civil War, due to a temporary law forbidding the use of foreign words in football club names, the team's official denomination changed to the current Club Deportivo Laredo.
In 1987, the club promoted for the first time to Segunda División B. Despite being immediately relegated, the club returned to the third tier just one year later, but it finished again in the relegation positions.
Since 1990, Laredo played uninterruptedly in Tercera División. In the 2018-19 season the club won silver medals by finishing just 6 points behind the champion UM Escobedo.
