Club Deportivo Lealtad de Villaviciosa (English: Loyalty Sporting Club of Villaviciosa) is a Spanish football team based in Villaviciosa, in the autonomous community of Asturias. Founded in 1918, it plays in Segunda División B – Group I, holding home games at Les Caleyes ground with a capacity of 3,000.

History

Lealtad played in Regional leagues until 1990, when it promotes for the first time to Tercera División. In 1998, with Marcelino García as coach, the club achieves its first promotion ever to Segunda División B after defeating Real Madrid "C", Betanzos CF and Gimnástica Segoviana in the promotion playoffs.

It only remained in the third tier one season and spent fifteen more seasons in Tercera before promoting again in 2014, after overcoming a critical economic situation in 2012, by beating CD Puertollano in the shootout of the group champions' play-off.^[1]

This time, Lealtad avoided relegation after beating Racing Ferrol in the last match of the 2014–15 season by 1–0. In the 2015–16 season, Lealtad achieved a great year with a 10th position, the best one ever in club's history.
