Juventud Torremolinos, the newly promoted team to Primera RFEF, begins its preseason on July 22 against AD Ceuta in Cártama. This will be the first test for the Malagueños, who will reunite with familiar faces.
The Juventud Torremolinos has set a date for its first preseason trial of the 2026-27 season. The Malagueño team, which achieved promotion to Primera RFEF last season, will face AD Ceuta on July 22 in the municipality of Cártama. This match will serve as a warm-up for both teams and will bring together several well-known faces.
The match, which will take place at a time yet to be confirmed, will be the first preseason test for José Juan Romero's side, who also have friendlies scheduled against Sevilla FC, Cádiz CF, and Málaga CF. Juventud Torremolinos, for its part, will take the opportunity to gain competitive rhythm against a higher-category opponent.
Reunion with Familiar Faces
This match will not be just any friendly. Juventud Torremolinos and AD Ceuta have strengthened ties in recent months, especially following the signing of Álex Camacho by the Ceuta team. Additionally, this season, the Malagueño team will feature Cristian Rodríguez and Manu Sánchez, both former players of Ceuta.
These two footballers, who had limited playing time in the Second Division last season, will seek to regain prominence at Juventud Torremolinos. Their presence adds an extra incentive to a match that promises excitement. For local fans, it will be an opportunity to see the new signings in action and to assess the team's level against a rival from the silver category.
A Shared Meteoric Growth
Both clubs share a history of accelerated growth. Juventud Torremolinos has moved from Tercera Federación to Primera RFEF in just three seasons, while AD Ceuta has experienced a similar rise to reach LaLiga Hypermotion. A path of hope that now leads them to face each other in preseason.
Last year, in a similar friendly held in Montecastillo (Jerez), Juventud Torremolinos defeated Ceuta 1-2. However, this result did not reflect what the Ceuta team would later achieve in the league, where they finished eleventh. For the Malagueños, such matches are a litmus test to measure their growth.
The match on July 22 will also be an institutional approach between two entities that have begun a relationship of friendship and collaboration. For Juventud Torremolinos supporters, seeing their team compete against a Second Division rival is a sign of the club's ambition.
With preseason just around the corner, Juventud Torremolinos is finalising the details of its squad. The match against AD Ceuta will be the first of several tests that will help coach José Juan Romero shape the starting eleven for an exciting season in Primera RFEF.
The clash will take place at the Cártama ground, a venue that has hosted other preseason friendlies and guarantees a modest football atmosphere with plenty of fans. The gates will be open to the public, although it has not yet been confirmed whether tickets will need to be purchased or if entry will be free.
