History

Early years

Due to the link that Jerez established with the United Kingdom via the export of its Sherry wine to England, football began to be practiced informally in the city very early on. The first written record of football in Jerez dates from 1 November 1870 and appeared in the newspaper "El Progreso"; it reads: "We know that today a game of Cricket will be played, in the immediate site of the hippodrome, whose spectacle will begin at twelve o'clock sharp in the morning. In the afternoon, the fans of bumps will enjoy a while of foot-ball". Other early notes appearing in Jerez publications about football date from 1876 and 1884. The first one reads "new sport of strange rules and complicated foreign words", in the second note it reads "amusements of employees of English export firms based in Jerez fond of the goal". In subsequent years there is talk of a football society in Jerez, but due to the little importance the new sport had, not many references are made to it. The clearest allusion is from 1887, when a news item appears reporting that "the Jerez society" will pay for the travel of some English sailors from the Port of Cadiz to Jerez to play a friendly match.
