Orihuela hopes to fill Los Arcos with Girona in the Copa del Rey
Orihuela CF has long made it a priority to care for its supporters, and the club from the southern coast of Spain is showing why fans stay loyal. The upcoming schedule puts the team in two important contests back to back, underscoring the club’s ambition this season. On Saturday, December 2, at 7:00 p.m., the squad will host Cadiz Mirandilla in a neighborhood battle within the Second RFEF Group IV league. The focus then shifts to the big knockout clash in the Copa del Rey against Girona, a heavyweight in Spanish football thanks to a strong start to the LaLiga season and the presence of one of the competition’s respected coaches. The Girona match is set for Thursday, December 7, at 9:00 p.m., also at Los Arcos, with the atmosphere expected to be highly partisan and electric.
The message from the Scorpion club is simple: push for a win against the Cadiz reserve squad and savor the excitement of the cup tie that could propel the team deeper into the national tournament. The club emphasizes a strong home performance, inviting the local community to witness their bid for three points in front of a supportive crowd.
In preparation for the cup match, the club initially announced a five-euro price increase for the Girona fixture, scheduled to take effect starting Monday, November 27. However, at the request of the fans, the board, led by Eloy Moreno, opted to keep pre-sale prices unchanged to maintain consistency with the period’s existing pricing. As a result, tickets for the cup tie come with a small, predictable premium: 25 euros for general and lower seating, 30 euros for grandstands; 30 and 40 euros for subscribers versus non-subscribers. For younger attendees, pricing also covers children aged five to twelve and teenagers up to twenty. The expectation is clear: Los Arcos should be packed to capacity, with the venue’s 4,000-seat limit creating a historic night the club and fans hope to remember for years.
Orihuela hopes a full Los Arcos will back Girona clash in the Copa del Rey
As the club looks ahead, another piece of good news emerged: all fans who already bought seats for the Girona match will be admitted free to the Cadiz Mirandilla game this Saturday. Ticket holders simply need to visit the club’s official store to claim the corresponding entry for the Cadiz match, a gesture intended to reward early purchasers and maximize the home crowd advantage. This policy highlights Orihuela’s commitment to accessibility and to creating a vibrant, vocal home atmosphere that can influence performances on match day.
Historically, Orihuela has been a city united by passion for football, with supporters demonstrating unwavering backing for their teams. In just over a week, the club will stage two compelling tests: a league encounter against Cadiz’s reserve side and the Copa del Rey showdown with Girona, a club led by one of modern football’s most recognizable coaches. The combination promises an engaging experience for players and fans alike, a chance to celebrate local football culture and rally behind a squad eager to make a mark on both domestic leagues and national cup competition.
