Intercity’s late surge seals victory and a climb in the standings
Intercity clinched a win at Nuevo Mirador Stadium in Algeciras in the 85th minute, a moment that propelled Oriol Soldevila and his teammates to a 1-0 triumph. The result lifted them to fifth place and extended Alicante’s winning streak to three games, a milestone the club hadn’t reached in two seasons. The team remains unbeaten in seven matches, reshaping the narrative after a difficult start to the league. With three defeats in five fixtures, Alejandro Sandroni has shifted the focus from promotion to securing safety, emphasizing a practical target of reaching 50 points to ensure permanent status in the division.

Intercity’s financial department has been equally active, working to stabilize the players’ situation amid economic challenges. Club sources told the Información newspaper that part of the debt owed to players has been settled, with the remainder expected to be paid within the next six weeks. The club is also pursuing a treasury plan as the first Spanish side listed on the stock exchange, aiming to absorb losses accumulated over the last three seasons, amounting to seven and a half million euros.
The latest published accounts, dated June 30, 2023, show a need for about 4.5 million euros. A large portion of this was allocated to cover personal expenses and markedly improved salaries to attract and retain players, supporting efforts to push for promotion. Revenue from the previous campaign stood near two million euros, prompting Alicante SAD to explore additional financing options.
For the moment, the focus remains on preserving the champion status and preparing for the next fixture against Real Murcia at the Antonio Solana Stadium. Real Murcia sits three points behind Intercity, trailing after two away defeats. The upcoming clash could offer Intercity a chance to extend their advantage or, at minimum, maintain their current position as Castalia is noted as the one venue where Intercity’s direct rivals have struggled to collect points.

Livestream details were shared as part of social media coverage earlier in the season, underscoring the growing visibility of the club’s journey in the First Federation.
Two parallel dimensions appear to be shaping Alicante’s trajectory: the urgent need for funding within the club’s offices and the pressure-free stance on the bench when it comes to promotion. The course of the campaign and the results achieved may prove influential for players and managers as they pursue a meaningful project amid ongoing financial pressures.
