Constancia then achieved promotion to Tercera División in 1944, changing name to Plasencia CF.

Plasencia CF officially folded in 1947, with CD Plasencia taking their place. A new promotion to Tercera occurred in 1954, with the club remaining in the division until 1970. Four years later, CD Plasencia merged with Plasencia Industrial CF to create UP Plasencia.
