History
Canillas was formed in 1961 in Nápoles, Hortaleza, initially under the name "Club Deportivo Los Merinos". Registered in the Madrid Football Federation in 1969, it was renamed to "Club Deportivo Nápoles" due to regulation rules.[3]
In 1975, the club was renamed to its actual name (Club Deportivo Canillas), achieving its first promotion in 1979. A youth section, "CD EPAYDA", was formed in 1997.[3]
Since CD Canillas is the feeder club of Real Madrid, some players who came from La Fábrica, Real Madrid's youth academy, had played at CD Canillas. Famous footballers' sons have also played there.[2][6][9]
