Córdoba CF enters pre‑season with the ambition to fight for promotion to La Liga, according to legendary cordobesista Pedro Campos. The former player, who spent 23 years linked to the club, highlights financial stability and social growth as the foundation for success.

What does Pedro Campos think of Córdoba CF’s current state?

Campos recalls his debut at 15, when the club rescued him from rural poverty. Today, he notes that season ticket holders have risen to 17,000 and families regularly attend matches. “Parents come to football with their kids; that builds a community we didn’t have in the ’80s,” he says. The stadium remodel completed in 2025 is already generating extra revenue that, he believes, will allow investment in the squad.

How does he assess Antonio Monterrubio’s management?

The president, in charge since 2022, has removed reliance on external donors such as Bahrain. Campos praises the balanced financial policy: “We don’t depend on a single sponsor; Monterrubio’s management is very good, though there’s always room to improve.” In 2024, the club closed the fiscal year with a surplus of €1.2 million, a figure that, according to Campos, provides room to sign reinforcements without endangering fiscal health.

What sporting challenges does he foresee for the next campaign?

The ex‑forward warns that the promotion race will be tough. “We need a competitive squad, with experience and youth. The Segunda market is crowded, but with our stability we can attract players looking for a project.” He mentions ongoing talks with several 24‑25‑year‑old midfielders who could sign before the July transfer window closes.

What is the medium‑term vision for Córdoba CF?

Campos imagines a renovated stadium packed and a team competing in the top tier. “I see the kids who come with their parents today cheering a Córdoba in the elite five years from now.” His goal is for the club to keep its blanquiverde identity while cementing its place in Spain’s highest division.

What message does he leave for supporters?

“Keep believing, keep supporting. Every season ticket, every chant in the stands adds up. Córdoba CF is on the move and needs its people.” With that line, Campos ends the interview, reminding that the bond between club and city remains the core of his lifelong passion.
