History
CD Covadonga was founded in 1979 by José Antonio Álvarez Rabanal, priest of the parish of Our Lady of Covadonga, Oviedo, with the aim to give a way to development as people to the local youth.
It started to play its games in the Asturian Regional divisions in the field of the Fundación Masaveu while the club was negotiating with the Oviedo City Hall for the transfer of a piece of ground in Los Castañales, neighbourhood of Teatinos, for building a new football field.
In 1998 the team promoted for the first time to Tercera División. Fifteen years later, in 2013, the club finished the league in third position and qualifies for the 2013 Tercera División play-offs, but it was eliminated in the first round by CD Don Benito.
In January 2017, Covadonga signed an agreement with Atlético de Madrid that allows to all the player of the youth teams to make trials with the Madrilenian team.
