A year and a half without losing it at home: Eldense’s home dominance and the ongoing rise
In recent seasons, Eldense has stitched together an extraordinary home record, enduring a 16-month stretch without a defeat inside their venue. The stadium has witnessed a relentless accumulation of points, a relentless push, and a common feature of the game: the ability to add pressure and hold the edge in every contest. Eldense closed last season at Nuevo Pepico Amat with flawless execution, and they continue that same momentum as the club unveils a strengthened home identity for the new campaign. The goal is clear: control the match from the opening whistle, impose the pace, and tire the opponent until every surge of energy has been spent. Yet in moments when vulnerability seemed possible, no opponent could seize the opportunity to land a knockout blow against Deportivo Eldense.
Across 25 consecutive league games, Eldense earned at least a point on home soil, with most of those matches directed by the leadership on the bench. This is a notable historical achievement, a marker that is challenging for many clubs to approach. While defeat can still arrive away from home settings, Eldense’s performance seals a lasting memory in the national football landscape.
These 25 matches span three divisions, reinforcing a renaissance for a long-standing club in local football. The project recently faced a period of uncertainty, when administrative decisions and media discussions distracted from on-pitch progress. Yet the team and its supporters have steadied the ship, restoring pride and consistency in a city that admires its club’s persistence.
Month after month, the club has demonstrated resilience. The 16-month milestone became a turning point on April 17, 2022, when the last home game before an enduring run of success was played against Águilas, a match that ended in a defeat for the visiting side. Since then, Eldense has not tasted defeat at home and has logged 25 consecutive home fixtures without a loss, a testament to the squad’s cohesion and the confidence of the fan base.
The transformation in identity has been striking. Supporters of top-tier clubs have rallied behind Eldense as the club has risen toward continental attention, driven by a renewed ambition and a growing sense of momentum. The atmosphere surrounding the stadium reflects a community fully engaged with the project, and the team has maintained a rapid ascent on the field. If the current form endures, Eldense could cement itself among the leading sides early in the season, collecting victories to build a strong start.
The Granada coaching staff has noted the impressive structure of Eldense since the coach arrived, with no league defeats in the club’s home venues under their leadership. The last relegation of Eldense occurred in the 2021-2022 season when the club was navigating promotion routes in the Second RFEF. A bold and dynamic style of play has characterized the team, a fearless approach suited to a club that refuses to settle for the status quo and embraces a spirited, pint-sized challenge in the national system. A vocal advocate of the club’s philosophy argues that a courageous, expressive game is appropriate for a team aspiring to climb to higher levels of football, a sentiment echoed by supporters and analysts alike.
The 25-game home unbeaten run and the role of Estevez
On Sunday, April 17, 2022, matchday 30, the team secured a victory in the 55th minute, a moment that underscored the resilient spirit around Eldense. The club subsequently earned multiple wins at home, including a handful that clinched promotion and a playoff berth. The team has not lost at home in the Primera RFEF, registering 19 home matches with only seven draws before achieving promotion, and securing wins in the remaining encounters. A couple of clashes against strong rivals tested the squad as it chased a return to professional football, reinforcing the belief that the club can compete with well-established sides.
Opponents arriving at Eldense’s home venue know they must contend with a team that fights to dominate the field. The next clash at Nuevo Pepico Amat has its own storylines as the club continues its pursuit of league success. In the near future, a match against Alcorcón invites attention, while a trip to Zaragoza to face La Romareda’s storied arena presents another proving ground for the squad and its supporters.
In this ongoing narrative, Eldense’s home performance stands as a defining element of the club’s identity. It has become more than a simple statistic; it is a sign of a club reinventing itself and building a foundation for future campaigns. The community remains engaged, the players are focused, and the stadium has come alive with a renewed sense of purpose that could carry Eldense through the season and beyond [Source: Eldense club archives].
