In 2012, after the disappearance of Motril CF, CF Motril was created. This begins to compete from the lower leagues of Spanish football, but achieved a meteoric rise. So much so that in the first four seasons of its existence it achieved four consecutive promotions, and already in the 2019–20 Season, it tried to make the jump to Second Division B through the play-offs, in which it would fail, eliminated by El Ejido in the semifinals by a score of 2-3.
