Source report
Córdoba CF continues to build its preseason schedule, having confirmed a new friendly match against Cádiz CF. The fixture will take place on July 25 at 7:00 PM at the El Palmar field.
The match promises to be an attractive Andalusian derby between two Liga Hypermotion sides that have been notably active in the transfer market. Córdoba has made thirteen signings, while Cádiz has already completed nine additions to rebuild its squad.
The encounter will also carry special significance for Youssouf Diarra, recently re-incorporated into the Córdoba team. The midfielder returned to El Arcángel after two seasons away—first at Tenerife during the 2024–25 season and then at Cádiz in the 2025–26 campaign.
Two Heavily Revamped Projects
Cádiz faces the summer with the intention of leaving behind a complicated season and starting a new chapter coinciding with its change of ownership. The Cadiz team has reinforced itself with:
- Toibibou (Slovenian center-back, from NK Bravo)
- Urko Izeta (forward, from Athletic)
- Ibón Sánchez (attacking midfielder, from Athletic)
- Antoñito Cordero (from Newcastle)
- Jokin Ezkieta (goalkeeper, from Racing)
- Javi Castro (center-back, from Racing)
Córdoba, for its part, will arrive with an equally remodeled squad and the need to continue integrating its numerous additions into Iván Ania's system.
Five Friendlies Already Confirmed
With the addition of the match against Cádiz, Córdoba CF has now confirmed five preparation matches:
- Already played – A 1–1 draw against Orlando Pirates in Marbella, offering the first opportunity to assess a squad still in an early phase of preparation.
- Next Thursday – Córdoba will host La Liga's Sevilla FC at the Bahrain Victorious Nuevo Arcángel (9:30 PM), expected to be the most demanding fixture of the summer.
- July 25 – Duel against Cádiz at El Palmar (7:00 PM).
- July 31 – Friendly against Elche (7:00 PM) during Córdoba's training camp in Oliva.
- August 6 – Match at the Real Jaén field (8:00 PM), against a team recently promoted to Primera Federación.
