Xerez Club Deportivo, S.A.D., known simply as Xerez, is a Spanish football team based in Jerez de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. Founded on 24 September 1947 it plays in Segunda División, holding home matches at Estadio Municipal de Chapín, with an overall 22,000-seat capacity.
Team colours are usually blue shirt and socks, and white shorts.
History[]
to the link between Jerez de la Frontera and the United Kingdom created by the exports of sherry (Jerez in Spanish), football had its beginnings in the region towards the second half of the 19th century. In the early 20th century Sir Thomas Spencer, who worked with the William & Humbert winery, founded Sociedad Jerez Foot-Ball Club – he also served as chairman, player and captain.
From 1942 to 1947, the club had several names, ending with Jerez Club Deportivo, which was changed to the current name in 1960s. Xerez first reached the second division in 1953–54, remaining there for five years. Previously, in the 1940s, the team had promoted on the field but, due to the "high national interest" of the dictatorial government, left its position to España de Tánger Football Club.[1]
Matchday in Chapín
The team's new stadium, Estadio Municipal de Chapín, was inaugurated on 10 July 1988, replacing the old Estadio Domecq. The first match there was a friendly against Real Madrid. After decades in that category and also in the third, it had a 2001–02 second division campaign which almost resulted in an historic La Liga promotion, the year after ascending another level. The club seemed certain to gain promotion all season, but ultimately failed after a dramatic loss of form towards the end of the season, only notching four points in the last eight matches.
Since then, Xerez finished in the top 10 in the division each campaign, except in the 2007–08 season, when a weak start led to a 15th place finish. The following campaign proved excellent, as the club was always in the top positions. On 13 June 2009, after beating SD Huesca 2–1 at home, it achieved promotion to the top division for the first time in its history. In the final day of the competition, a draw at Celta de Vigo proved enough for the title, as CD Tenerife lost 1–2 home to CD Castellón in the final minute.[2]
The first season of Xerez in the top level would be short-lived, as it ended in relegation. After only collecting seven points from the first 19 games – which led to the sacking of coach José Ángel Ziganda – the club amassed 27 in the remaining 19, not good enough however to prevent the drop as last (the club, however, had chances to stay up until the final round, a 1–1 draw at CA Osasuna).
