To the twenty-first century, They had never set foot in any of these categories, since 2003 It is the scenario in which a club moves to a social group First Division. Until 25.000 people came to give appointment in the stands New Tartiere, curiously opened the year the club descended to Second and has enjoyed only one season in Primera, in a promotion of ascent from Third to Second B.

After more than a decade living in the catacombs of elite football, They want to go back and to do so, They are developing the most ambitious sporting project at least this century. With the advent of capital by the Mexican Carlos Slim, one of the richest men in the world and already has several teams in Mexico, Asturians are putting together a staff of very high level for the Second B.

The signing of coach Sergio Egea, an old acquaintance of Spanish men dugouts and veteran Esteban, raised in the house and back last season after being one of the best goalkeepers in the First Division despite his age, joined other former First as Hector Font, Jonathan Vila and Generelo among others, Oviedo will look back at least to Second Division, as an intermediate step before returning to the category of history, should take.
