History

Originally playing in the ''Primera División'' shortly after inception, the gap caused by the Civil War meant that the club could not push on from earlier successes. When La Liga play was resumed in the 1939, the team were relegated to the second divsion as their pitch was unplayable (Francos' troops had used the stadium as an ammunition dump). From then on, Oviedo have been a "yo-yo" side between Primera and Segunda, high; qualifying for UEFA Cup, low; once descending for a season to the ''Segunda B'' in the 1980s.
Promoted to the ''Primera división'' in 1988, they remained there till the 2001-02 season, finishing as high as sixth in the 1990-91 season. Recently they were relegated down to the third division for financial reasons. They regrouped and were promoted to Segunda 'B' in 2004/2005, but only lasted two seasons there and were again relegated to the Tercera, where they currently play.
