Activity in Oviedo offices—mid-August is in the air, yet anticipation remains high. The season opener at Carlos Tartiere against Racing de Ferrol is set for this Sunday at 17:00, and sensations among fans are buzzing as Santi Cazorla makes his long-awaited return to the blue squad. The club doubled the activity of its staff and registered a remarkable spike in season ticket subscriptions in a single day.
From Thursday to Friday, announcements show 19,000 subscribers on Thursday, with more than 19,500 added by Friday and well over five hundred partners. This data, compiled from official club communications and circulating on social media, underscores the momentum around Cazorla’s arrival and the club’s growing footprint in the community.
The club confirms that around 3,000 seats have been sold for the Ferrol match, along with several season-ticket packages. Interest in the game is peaking with Cazorla in the stands, and the surge in subscriptions reflects the player’s signing and the accompanying financial arrangements. Cazorla’s salary in this context has been noted, with reports indicating a substantial contract, illustrating the high expectations surrounding his presence in the Second Division.
Supporters continued to line up at the club shop, buying season tickets and securing seats for the Ferrol clash, up until the shop closed at 7 PM. The anticipation is also set to grow with the imminent release of the new blue jersey, which is expected to boost merchandise sales further. The shirt sponsorship and image rights arrangements have been clarified, with the club confirming a structured plan for merchandise revenue and reinvestment through sub-categories of the enterprise.
Santi Cazorla’s arrival in Asturias is slated for this Saturday, though official confirmation remains pending. The certainty lies in his attendance at the Tartiere tomorrow, where fans can witness the match live. The game will mark a potential debut for Cazorla, contingent on his physical condition, after a period of solitary training. Both the club and the player are coordinating the steps carefully to ensure a confident and ready-on-pitch debut when his form permits.
