The green-and-white board has called on its supporters for a massive reception for Eder Sarabia's team bus, in what is considered another final for salvation. This initiative, which was already successfully carried out in the match against RCD Mallorca, seeks to create an atmosphere of unconditional support from the hours leading up to the clash.
The meeting point will be Paseo de Atzavares, where from 11:00 AM, a giant paella will be offered for a thousand diners, along with inflatable foosball, music, and entertainment. The team bus will arrive at the Martínez Valero stadium around 2:25 PM, with a modified itinerary compared to previous occasions, accessing via the fan roundabout from José Esquitino Sempere Avenue.
“"Elche CF is playing for more than three points. It is playing for an objective and the push of an entire city. This Saturday, Federación de Peñas and Grada de Animación, all together, from the pre-match to the final whistle."
The club, with the support of the Grada de Animación and the Federación de Peñas, has also called on the nearly 30,000 spectators expected at Martínez Valero to be in their seats by 3:40 PM, when the players will come out to warm up, promising several surprises for the fans.
This derby, corresponding to the first of the last eight matchdays of LaLiga EA Sports 2025/26, finds Elche CF in relegation positions, two points behind Sevilla FC and RCD Mallorca. Recent precedents at Martínez Valero are not favorable, with black-and-white victories in the last two confrontations against Valencia CF.
