Moratalla Club de Fútbol was founded in 1976 as
Club de Fútbol Juventud Moratallera, moving to its current name two years later. It first appeared in national category ten years later, competing in
Group XIII in the
fourth division. In
2008–09, the club made its first presence in the
third level promotion playoffs, being ousted by
CD Alcalá 0–2 on aggregate. However, after
Lorca Deportiva CF was relegated for lack of payment to its players, Moratalla took its place, making its first appearance in the category on 30 August 2009, in a 0–2 away loss against
Real Murcia Imperial, and eventually
being relegated back. The team was dissolved after the
2010–11 season due to economic problems, and its place was bought by a recently founded club,
FC Jumilla. ==Season to season==
