Córdoba CF opened its doors at the Sports City on Friday, July 11, to a preseason session that gave media and supporters a direct look at the new sustainable project the club is building. The day, highlighted by the presence of many youngsters from Primera and Segunda Federación, made clear that the board is betting on a squad balanced between promise and experience.

What did the preseason reveal?

Fans who attended, like José Luis Arias, watched training on the Camino de Carbonell and assessed the quality of the signings. Standout names included Dani Tasende and Juan Gutiérrez, both arriving from the federation leagues. Arias praised the group's energy but criticised the loan of Mariano Carmona to Eldense, calling it "a mistake" because the player had performed well at Alcorcón.

How does the fanbase view the market?

The cordobesismo, according to those present, views the influx of lower‑division players positively, describing them as "young and hungry". Yet most agree that reinforcement is needed in midfield and attack, areas where most signings have been defensive. Long‑time member Paco Mendoza brought his children to the visit and said that while the new talents are promising, the team also needs seasoned Segunda Division players to achieve a competitive balance.

What are supporters expecting this season?

Fans hope the sustainable project will allow the club to reach at least 50 points and, with luck, a playoff spot. The mix of eager youth and solid veterans is seen as the formula to become "exciting" again. The board, without giving exact figures, assures that the financial plan aims at medium‑term stability, avoiding oversized spending and favouring internal development.

What challenges remain?

Despite optimism, the lack of reference players in midfield and the forward line remains a critical issue. Critics demand that the club seek at least two players with proven Segunda experience to complement the newcomers. Meanwhile, management keeps the door open for last‑minute deals, always under the premise of not compromising the project's sustainability.

In short, the Sports City opening acted as a thermometer for the club‑supporter relationship. The blend of excitement for youth and the call for experience sets the tone for a preseason still in adjustment but promising a competitive and financially responsible campaign for Córdoba CF.
