Córdoba CF opened its doors to fans on Friday July 5 at the Ciudad Deportiva, gathering close to 300 supporters who watched the third training session of the 2026‑27 preseason. The massive turnout highlights the renewed bond between the blanquiverde club and the local community.

What happened during the session?

The day kicked off on time at 08:45, with the coaching staff and new players lined up on field 1. After a series of stretches, the squad split into rondos and seven‑a‑side games while the stand buzzed with chants from children and youngsters. The absence of Franck Fomeyem and Adilson Mendes, still recovering, was felt, but the tempo never dropped.

Why does the crowd matter?

More than 300 people, many of them minors, chose Camino de Carbonell to watch their idols up close. This figure exceeds attendance at open trainings from previous seasons, indicating that the decision to open the Ciudad Deportiva works as a proximity and loyalty tool. Local media also highlighted the crowd’s energy as a motivator for the squad.

Which player news emerged?

In the second half, Raúl Cámara joined the bench, though he stayed glued to his phone. Two incidents stood out: a deep scrape on Christian Carracedo’s left shin‑bone and the striking physical growth of Ntji Tounkara, who returned stronger after his loan spells at Sanluqueño and Alcorcón in the 2025‑26 campaign. The coaching staff will monitor whether that leap secures him a spot in the first‑team roster.

What challenges lie ahead in the transfer market?

The club knows the summer market will bring reinforcements competing for the filial’s midfield slot. In the session, Damián displayed his power in passing drills, but incoming central midfielders could limit his minutes. The manager, unnamed in the report, stressed the need to keep intensity and group cohesion high.

What’s next for Córdoba CF?

With preseason in full swing, the next test will be a friendly against a regional side on July 12, where the squad will trial the tactics honed at the Ciudad Deportiva. Meanwhile, the board urges supporters to keep attending open trainings, reinforcing the idea that the club belongs to the city.
