History
Founded in 1946 as Club Deportivo Tesorillo, the club was renamed Melilla Club de Fútbol in August 1956, after the dissolution of UD Melilla.[1] Having won promotion to Tercera División in that year, they played for six consecutive seasons in the category, achieving an impressive first place in their debut season.
The club reached Segunda División in 1962, and played for four consecutive seasons in the category before suffering relegation. They went on to play in the third division until 1976, and after suffering relegation, they merged with Club Gimnástico de Cabrerizas, which had won promotion to the third level, to create Gimnástico Melilla Club de Fútbol.[2]
