In 2001/02 CD Jávea finished second in group IV behind a very powerful 'B' side from Hércules CF but lost their play-off round to SD Sueca to miss out on promotion to the Third Division.

Young manager Alberto Araujo was tasked with putting together an exciting side that could challenge for promotion but by late November the club was just above the relegation zone.

Former FC Torrevieja player Kenny Brown was sought after as a suitable replacement, having the sort of coaching credentials that would suit the ambitions of the club.

Jávea won just once in 21 games between 5 November 2006 and 6 May 2007 and a 0–1 home defeat at the hands on UD Altea forced the rojiblancos into the drop zone.

As a consequence of the programmes, CD Jávea received well over 100 emails from players and coaches in the UK, including Football League side Southend United.

A partnership agreement was signed in the summer of 2008[1] which resulted in three young Southend players flying out to the Costa Blanca to join CD Jávea for a six-month loan spell, although just one managed to last the entire period.

The 2010/11 season began badly, the worst start for some time with five straight defeats and two draws saw CD Jávea firmly established at the very bottom of the table.

Horadada and the 'rojiblancos' gradually lifted themselves away from the wrong end of the table with a series of much improved performances, including a 4–1 thumping of play-off contenders Hércules C.F.

With José Luis Bisquert still at the helm, the side started slowly with three successive draws and a defeat but a run of three consecutive wins including a stunning 4–0 away demolition of U.D.

The two victories – one at home against Racing Algemesi and the second away at UD Ondarense – would be against two sides who would ultimately be relegated, scant consolation for such a miserable season.

An unlucky opening day defeat at CD Dénia was followed by an eight-game unbeaten run in which Dani García would score four goals, including two stunning strikes that would have been worthy of a greater stage.

The rojiblancos also recorded some of their biggest wins in their history when they crushed CD Chella 8–1 before defeating relegation-bound Catarroja CF 6–0 on their own pitch.

It took eight games to get a first win under his belt, a 2–0 home victory over perennial strugglers Pego CF, by which time Jávea had slipped to 16th position in the table.

On the final day of the season, a close game against UE CF Tavernes saw Jávea come out top with a late goal to snatch all three points and finish in 6th position.

But the squad rallied and a run of five wins in six saw them crawl back up the table and by the Christmas break CD Jávea was sitting in a comfortable fifth spot.

Off the pitch the long-promised was finally becoming a reality and forced the club to play its "home" fixtures against CF Tous and UD Canals in Benissa.

But then a run of four games without a win, including a 1–2 reverse in Dénia, saw the club slide out of the play-offs and spectators suggesting a curse of the roof, an uninspiring construction that created a number of restricted views ... but seats were finally installed.

2018–2019 Coach Antonio Villaescusa was staying on for a third season and, once his position had been confirmed, he set about building a strong squad to offer a real challenge to the top of the table.

Roberto, Lucas Bou, Rubén Ortolá, Rafa del Castillo and Paulo all signed on for another year whilst Vicente Palau, Adrián Salom and Vicente Sellens joined from UD Beniganim, a side which finished 4th the previous season, narrowly missing out on the play-offs, whils Favio Orosio arrived from CD Polop.

Just four defeats in the opening half of the season saw the side enter the Christmas break in fifth spot but the team had promised so much more and the board of directors acted, dismissing Juan Carlos Signes after a run of three games without a win saw Jávea slide slowly away from the top three.

He was replaced in the New Year by Roberto Granero, a very experienced coach in the Valencian region who had recently guided UD Atzeneta into the Third Division.

After being mooted for the position at the beginning of the year when Juan Carlos Signes was dismissed, former CD Dénia coach Diego Miñana finally arrived in Jávea and he spent the summer building a strong squad with just one objective, promotion.

Three wins in a row put Jávea amongst the front runners but a home defeat to league leaders (and eventual champions) CFI Alicante followed by a disappointing 0–0 draw in La Nucia saw the rojiblancos drop out of the top three.

CD Jávea pushed hard after the restart but three months of inactivity was taking its toll and the injury list mounted, forcing head coach Diego Miñana to call up several young reserve team players.

They fitted it as well as they could but Jávea dropped too many points before the disappointment of a 1–2 defeat in Alicante, which all but ended play-off aspirations, was further compounded by five senior players testing positive for COVID-19.

[3] At the club's AGM on Wednesday 28 July, the entire board of directors of CD Jávea resigned, citing lack of enthusiasm to be able to face a new season and particularly dealing with the bureaucracy of the town hall as it transpires that the council had not yet handed over 117,000 euros, the annual municipal grant, due to an external audit.

On the final day of the season, some 1,500 fans turned out to cheer on the team to a historic 2–1 win over Ontinyent 1931 CF and secure an effective "promotion" to the new Lliga Comunitat, the highest tier in amateur football in the Comunidad Valenciana.

By the end of October, the rojiblancos had picked up four points to climb into 14th spot but a bruising 0–7 defeat by CF Benidorm, the heaviest loss for CD Jávea for over 40 years.

With three games remaining, after a stunning 3–2 home win over champions-elect CF Benidorm put the travelling army celebrations on hold for 24 hours, CD Jávea was out of the relegation zone.

The changing rooms and offices underneath the stand were seriously damaged by fire, thought to have been started deliberately, in June 2010; a similar arson attack destroyed the nearby headquarters of Javea Bulls Rugby Club.
