Universidad del País Vasco-Vasconia

Founded in 1982 as Club Deportivo Zuzenbidea (Zuzenbide Kirol Elkartea in Basque), the club changed name to Universidad del País Vasco – Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea in 1989. In 1995, the club achieved a first-ever promotion to Tercera División, suffering immediate relegation but returning at first attempt.^[1]

In 2004, after another relegation from the fourth division, UPV reached an agreement with Real Sociedad to become their second reserve team behind Real Sociedad B. The partnership helped the club to return to the fourth tier in their first year, but the affiliation ended in June 2006 due to economic reasons.^[2]

In 2007, again relegated from Tercera, UPV reached an agreement with CD Vasconia to act as their first team. After another relegation in 2010, the partnership ended after Vasconia wanting to create a senior team of their own,^[3] and UPV was subsequently dissolved.
