Intercity Alicante continues to show resilience as it navigates a challenging stretch without letting defeats derail its upward momentum. The Alicante squad, which has not tasted defeat since a 1-0 loss to Granada on September 23, has gone six matches unbeaten, harvesting road wins against UD Ibiza and Atlético Sanluqueño in its latest two outings, under the guidance of Antonio Solana.
Alejandro Sandroni has been the driving force, guiding the team from a relegation position toward the fringes of the promotion zone. With 18 points aligned with Antequera, both clubs remain in contention to advance to the Second Division, a goal that would redefine the season for the group. Sandroni’s leadership has helped the squad collect 12 points from 18 as it climbs the standings.
The club in blue and black has secured two victories in a row after an uneven start to the season in the early rounds of the league. After 11 league matches, the Alicante outfit is beginning to believe it can aspire to more than mere survival in the First Federation this campaign.
Real options to achieve the ambitious objective of entering professional football have grown as the club navigates financial and legal challenges. The real options to secure a future in higher competition are being explored under the stewardship of Salvador Martí, with discussions surrounding the club’s dissolution having arisen in prior years due to accumulated liabilities since its inception. The current environment stresses the need for prudent growth and sustainable planning in order to remain competitive at the senior level. [Source: internal club records and press remarks]
Maximum attention from the bench
Yet the backbone of the recent resurgence lies with the seasoned Sandroni. The head coach has emphasized a cautious approach, focusing on a single target at a time: attaining a total of 50 points to guarantee safety. He articulated the plan in stark terms, noting the need to endure the toughest moments of the season and drawing a vivid comparison to past seasons when the club celebrated modest milestones only to face tough consequences for a misstep. The message to the squad was clear: stay grounded and finish the season strong.
Even with the cautionary notes, Intercity is keenly aware that the project’s financial viability hinges on achieving a step forward into a higher division and securing a place within LaLiga’s umbrella. The next move sees the team traveling to Algeciras, where a victory would signal a sustained push toward promotion and the broader ambition of competing at a higher level in Spanish football. The on-site leadership, including the former Hercules boss, has been vocal about the push to rise to LaLiga Hypermotion, underscoring the strategic importance of every remaining fixture.

Intercity aims to extend its current winning run when it visits Algeciras, a streak not matched in the previous two campaigns in the Second Federation. The side has yet to string together a nine-point run across a three-week window, making the present stretch all the more significant for confidence and momentum. The staff and players are focused on converting this momentum into tangible results as the season approaches its critical phase. [Endorsement: team management update]
