Orihuela fans look to pack Los Arcos for Girona in Copa del Rey
Orihuela is gearing up for a big night on Thursday, December 7, with kick-off scheduled for nine in the evening. A celebration unfolds as the Copa del Rey qualifier against Girona, the rising force from the First Division, takes center stage on their home ground.
Although the match will be televised on Teledeporte, the Scorpion club aims to fill Los Arcos, and advance plans are in motion. More than 3,800 tickets have already found buyers. The Orihuela home ground holds around 4,000 spectators. The general and fund stands are sold out, leaving only seats in the Tribune.
Like this, the Vega Baja club leadership has decided to raise capacity at Los Arcos by opening extra stands to meet demand ahead of Thursday. A goal of 5,000 loyal fans is now within reach and pushes the team to chase one of the tournament’s biggest surprises.
Tickets remain on sale at the box office, through the official club store, and via the platform compralaentrada.com.
Ticket prices: for subscribers, 25 euros in the General and Fund stands, 30 euros in the standard stands; 30 and 40 euros for non-subscribers; and 15 and 20 euros for children up to 12 years old.

Measures to boost the league performance
In the wake of last Saturday’s 2-4 defeat against Cádiz Mirandilla, which placed Orihuela in a relegation battle, the club’s leadership issued a letter to supporters outlining a plan. The message indicated that, during the Christmas break, strategic measures would be implemented to alter the poor run of form and help the team push toward promotion playoffs. The aim is clear: secure a place in the first RFEF through the playoff route.
Following three consecutive losses at Los Arcos, the leadership stated that holiday changes, starting December 18, would be put in place to help the squad achieve its promotion goals and finish the season strong.
Orihuela president commits to changes to lift the squad
Although the Scorpion team earned promotion to this division recently, the club president emphasized a wider ambition. The message underscored that the goal is not mere survival; the leadership intends to push for continuous advancement and make room for the next generation of leadership if needed.
In this moment, the club remains focused on turning the season around with decisive moves and sustained effort, hoping to see the squad improve its standing and compete for a return to higher levels of competition.
