Sociedad Deportiva Melilla was a Spanish football team based in the autonomous city of Melilla. Founded in 1970 and dissolved in 1976, it played for two consecutive seasons in Tercera División.
History
Founded in 1970,[1] the club won promotion to Tercera División in 1974 after defeating Ceuta-based side SDU África Ceutí in the promotion play-offs.[2] After two seasons in the third tier, the club was involved into a fusion with newly-formed side Gimnástico Melilla CF, but the move never materialize, and SD Melilla's main players moved to the latter club instead. Having no time to form a squad to play in the third division, the SD resign from their place in the category on 25 August 1976, becoming diluted inside Gimnástico's structure afterwards.[3]
