this “Fria Verde Green” rock benefited from last Saturday’s meeting between Elche CF and real sociedad presenting the best player award of last season to midfielder Omar Mascarell. The Canarian footballer was chosen as the Catalan striker in the voting, which drew a crowd of 145 supporters. Peter Milla and to the left Johan Mojica were present as part of a memorable moment on the field.
George Ortega, president of Franja Verde, one of the most iconic clubs for Elche, which adds color to the Preference stands at every match, stepped onto the field with two young members to present Mascarell with a commemorative plaque that featured a photo of the awardee. The gesture underscored the close ties between the club and its players as fans watched the tribute unfold on the turf.
For his part, the Canary Island native expressed appreciation for the support shown by the fan club, saying the recognition would boost his resolve to defend and promote the Franjiverde colors throughout the current season. He stressed that the honor reflected the strong bond between the supporters and the squad, a bond he intends to honor with continued effort and dedication on every game night.
In conversations around the event, club officials and supporters emphasized the importance of celebrating homegrown achievement and ongoing commitment to the team’s future. The award ceremony also highlighted the role of fan groups in sustaining club spirit and motivating players to reach new heights as the season progresses. The gathering served as a reminder that teamwork extends beyond the pitch, weaving together players, leadership, and passionate fans into a shared experience that elevates Elche CF and its regional community.
The event was framed as a moment of pride for the club, reflecting its history and the enthusiasm that surrounds Elche’s football culture. Mascarell’s continued performance and willingness to embody the Franjiverde values were highlighted by officials, players, and supporters who see him as a representative figure for the club’s ambitions this season.
