Under the guidance of coach Álex Moro, the squad delivered a commanding 0-5 triumph, finishing the round in fourth place with 25 points from eight wins, one draw, and three losses, with one match still to be played after the clash with San José de Cáceres was postponed. As the phase drew to a close, they trailed CD Chiloeches from Guadalajara by two points and trailed CD Guadalacín from Cádiz by three, while the season leader La Algaida FS from Murcia sat nine points ahead. In the final stretch of the year, the group seeks a strong finish to secure a coveted seed for the upcoming promotion playoffs, underscoring their push to be among the top four as the campaign moves toward its decisive matches.
Their last game of the year is set for next Saturday, a home encounter at Alicante’s Vicente Crespo pavilion against the team currently in second place. The match, scheduled for the evening, is expected to be a fiercely contested duel as Alicante and Cadiz jockey for second in the standings and a favorable position for the playoffs. The venue is known for its intimate, electric atmosphere, and local supporters are anticipated to create a challenging backdrop that could tilt the balance in a tightly contested battle.
Several players were unavailable in the first round due to personal reasons. Nevertheless, the coaching staff—Álex Moro at the helm, with Javi Antón as assistant coach and Salva Ronda as team delegate—steadfastly guided the squad, turning it into a cohesive unit that battles with collective resolve in every fixture. The overarching objective remains clear: finish in the top four to gain entry to the promotion playoffs for a shot at the national First League. Their focus highlights the belief that unity and resilience can bridge past setbacks and propel the club toward elevated competition in the next phase of the campaign.
The squad for this season features a robust goalkeeper rotation and a strong core of field players. In goal, Aida Coves and Inés Carbonell provide reliable coverage, while the outfield lineup includes Aitana Benítez, Ángela Palazón, Judit Mateu, Mar Navarro, Alba Ramos, Lara Navarro, Miriam López, Lucía del Rio, and Lara as field players, alongside Terrés, Paula Sánchez, and Elena García. Aitana Benítez has emerged as the tournament’s top scorer with an impressive tally of 15 goals, underscoring her pivotal role in the team’s attacking threat and overall balance on the floor. The depth of talent across positions supports a dynamic rotation that keeps intensity high across a demanding schedule and allows the club to adapt to evolving tactical demands as the season unfolds.
In addition to competition, the club emphasizes community engagement and solidarity as part of its broader outreach. A forthcoming toy collection drive, organized in partnership with AAVV Carolinas Bajas “Les Palmeretes,” invites Alicante residents to participate in a festive futsal showcase that doubles as a charitable effort. The event embodies the club’s philosophy of using sport as a vehicle for social good, drawing in fans and families for a lively, high-energy experience that contributes to a worthy cause. The collection drive strengthens ties with the local community and highlights the club’s commitment to generous outreach and inclusive participation, reflecting values that push the team beyond the court.
