Córdoba CF is in a period of reflection after a tumultuous 2025-26 season. The club, under the management of Iván Ania, has identified several key objectives for the 2026-27 campaign, with one of the most important being the closure of the Bahrain Victorious Nuevo Arcángel. This project, managed by the company Sepisur XXI, aims to enhance the stadium's aesthetics, which has been a concern for fans. Additionally, plans are in place to close the south end, allowing El Arcángel to have a more modern appearance in line with current standards. However, the biggest challenge for Córdoba CF lies in improving its defensive performance. In the past season, the team was the third most conceded at home in the Segunda Division of the 21st century, allowing 28 goals in 21 matches. This has raised concerns about the team's reliability at home, as the numbers have not improved from the previous season. Despite accumulating 32 points in both seasons, Córdoba CF has shown a lack of consistency that needs urgent addressing. Compared to other teams like Ceuta and Málaga, Córdoba CF's defensive performance has been worrying, casting doubt on their promotion aspirations. The club's management is aware that mere survival is not enough and is questioning how to reverse this situation for the upcoming season.
