Club Deportivo Tudelano is a Spanish football team based in Tudela, in the autonomous community of Navarre. Founded in 1935 it plays in , holding home matches at Estadio Ciudad de Tudela, with a capacity of 11,000 seats.
On 29 November 1935, several local clubs — C.D. Vegetariano, Tudela F.C., Áncora Fordin, Sociedad Gaztesuna, and Muskaria Club — merged to establish Club Deportivo Tudelano. Lucas Gallego was named president, and the newly formed team adopted a white shirt and black shorts as its official kit. The club played its home matches at Campo de Griseras, which had been enclosed since 1934. Tudelano entered competition in the Segunda Regional during the 1935–36 season and secured first place in its debut campaign.
At the same time, C.D. Arenas, which had not joined the merger, continued competing in the Primera Regional as another representative of Tudela. In July 1936, just as CD Tudelano was preparing to compete in the Primera Regional, the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War brought an abrupt suspension of activity that lasted nearly two years. Football resumed in the city in late 1938, once circumstances allowed.
At the time, the renamed C.D. Arenas E.yD. competed in the Segunda Regional. In 1943, Spain’s National Sports Delegation (DND) sought to strengthen football in key population centers by using the newly restructured Tercera División as a platform for smaller clubs. As champions of their region, CD Tudelano earned promotion to the Tercera División and took part in the 1943–44 season in Group III, which included teams from the Basque Country and La Rioja, finishing in sixth place.
In the subsequent seasons, Tudelano placed ninth in 1944–45, eighth in 1945–46, and sixth in 1946–47. In 1947–48, they competed in a group with teams from the Valencia and Castile regions and finished ninth. The 1948–49 campaign saw the club drop to fourteenth and last in a group made up of Basque and Cantabrian clubs. Despite this result, a league restructuring allowed Tudelano to remain in the Tercera División for the 1949–50 season, which they ended in twelfth position.
In 1954–55, a major restructuring of the Tercera División reduced the number of teams per group, and Tudelano was placed in a group alongside clubs from Navarre and Gipuzkoa. The team dominated its group and qualified for the promotion playoffs to the Segunda División, where it finished sixth in a group of eight. Only Ag.D. Plus Ultra earned promotion, with other participants including Ct.D. Manresa, Girona C.F., Arenas S.D., C.D. Elgoibar, C.D. Binéfar, and A.D. Rayo Vallecano.
During the 1955–56 and 1956–57 seasons, Tudelano finished in fourth place, narrowly missing out on promotion, while C.D. Elgoibar claimed the group title both years. The club slipped to sixth in 1957–58 and then to twelfth in 1958–59. A fourteenth-place finish in 1959–60 resulted in relegation to the Primera Regional once again.
In the 1967–68 season, CD Tudelano finished in third place. The following year, the team joined a reorganized Tercera División, competing against clubs from Navarre, Gipuzkoa, La Rioja, and Aragon. The club secured a respectable seventh-place finish in that campaign, a result it repeated in the 1969–70 season. During that period, the team began playing in the new Estadio José Antonio Elola, which was inaugurated on 17 August 1969 in a friendly match against Club Atlético Osasuna that ended in a 1–1 draw.
The following season (1971–72) brought little improvement, as they ended in 15th place and again faced a tense relegation play-off, this time against SD Rayo Cantabria. A 4–0 home win and a narrow 3–0 defeat in Santander allowed them to remain in Tercera División on aggregate.
In the subsequent years, the club assembled stronger squads capable of competing more comfortably in the division. They achieved a 7th-place finish in 1972–73, followed by 9th in 1973–74, 8th in 1974–75, and 6th in 1975–76. The 1970s are considered a golden era for the club, with their home ground hosting prominent teams such as Real Valladolid Deportivo, Tenerife Atlético, Palencia CF, Club Atlético Osasuna, UD Salamanca, Getafe Deportivo, CD Logroñés, [[Castilla CF, Deportivo Alavés, and Club Atlético Madrileño — many of which had experience in higher divisions or featured players who would later gain national recognition.
In the 1976–77 season, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced the creation of a new intermediate tier between the Segunda División and Tercera División: the Segunda División B. The top ten teams from each of the four Tercera División groups would qualify for the new league. Tudelano responded with a strong campaign, finishing 9th and thus earning a place in the newly formed Segunda División B, ensuring their continued presence at the national third tier.
The club reached Segunda B for the first time in the 1977–78 season, benefiting from a league restructuring that allowed even a ninth-place finish in Tercera División to secure promotion. However, the team struggled to adapt to the higher level of competition and was relegated back to Tercera after just one season.
Back in Tercera División, the team showed a decline in performance, ending the decade with a 6th-place finish in the 1978–79 season and 12th in 1979–80. This period also saw the founding of CD Lourdes in 1979, a new club based in the popular Lourdes neighborhood of Tudela, which would go on to become a notable local football institution.
In the 1983–84 season, the club won the league title, suffering only five defeats throughout the campaign. This achievement earned them a place in the promotion playoffs for Segunda División B. However, their promotion hopes were dashed in the semifinals by CA Marbella, who won both legs: 1–0 in Tudela and 2–0 in Marbella. Despite the disappointment, Tudelano claimed the Copa de la Liga title that same season, defeating Yeclano CF in the final — a 1–1 draw in the first leg and a 4–2 victory at home in the return leg.
The following seasons proved challenging. In 1984–85, the club finished 12th, and in 1985–86 narrowly avoided relegation to the Regional Preferente by finishing 18th.
In 1986, RFEF granted the Navarre Football Federation its own group within the Tercera División. Tudelano debuted in this restructured group in the 1986–87 season with a modest 6th-place finish, missing out on promotion. The 1987–88 campaign was even less successful, with the club ending in 13th place. However, results improved significantly in 1988–89, when Tudelano finished 3rd. Building on this progress, the team ended the 1989–90 season as runners-up, just one point behind league champions CD Izarra.
During the second half of the decade, the club faced significant financial difficulties, and in the 1996–97 season narrowly avoided further relegation with another 17th-place finish. In the following seasons, however, Tudelano managed to stabilize and consistently finished within the top ten of their Tercera División group.
The 2006–07 campaign marked the beginning of a determined push for promotion. Finishing fourth in the league, Tudelano reached the promotion play-offs but was eliminated by Las Palmas Atlético after a 2–2 home draw and a 1–0 away defeat. They repeated a fourth-place finish in 2007–08 and overcame C.D. Alfaro in the first round (4–0 at home, 3–1 away), but were denied promotion by Real Murcia Imperial, losing both legs of the final.
Undeterred, the club continued its efforts. In 2008–09, Tudelano placed third but fell to C.D. Ourense SAD in the opening round of the play-offs, suffering a heavy 4–0 away loss before winning 2–1 at home. The following season, 2009–10, saw Tudelano crowned league champions. However, they missed out on direct promotion after losing to Atlético Baleares (1–0 away, 2–1 at home). In the subsequent semi-final, they convincingly beat C.D. Llanes (2–2 away, 6–0 at home), but narrowly lost the final to F.C. Santboià, falling 2–1 in both legs and then 4–3 on penalties.
Promotion to Segunda División B was finally achieved in the 2011–12 season. After finishing third in the regular league, the club advanced through the playoff rounds by overcoming CD Azuqueca (1–1 away, 2–1 at home), CP Villarrobledo (2–1 at home, 2–2 away), and Catarroja CF (4–0 at home, 1–0 away) in the final. On 2 March 2012, the club’s stadium was officially renamed Ciudad de Tudela following a resolution by the local city council.
In 2016, CD Tudelano qualified to the promotion playoffs to Segunda División for the first time in its history.
