UD Melilla

At the beginning of the 1930s, Melilla city had four local football teams: Melilla C.F., Sociedad Deportiva Melillense, Deportivo Español and La Hípica.[2] Unión Deportiva Melilla was founded on February 6, 1943.[2] The first official game was against C.D. African on March 21, 1943. UD Melilla won it 5:1.[3] However then the club disappeared for 13 years. It was refounded in 1976, reached Segunda División B in 1987, and has remained there ever since.

The Ceuta-Melilla derby was between Melilla and AD Ceuta, who were dissolved in 2012. The two clubs travelled to face each other via the Spanish mainland to avoid entering Morocco.[4]
