Unión Deportiva Lanzarote finished the RFEF 3 (fifth tier) season in a disappointing 9th position, safe from relegation but a distant seven points from a playoff position.
The season began well, with the Rojillos (The Reds) topping the table from early October for a month. Things began to fall apart in the new year and with only one away win all season results were never going be good enough to challenge for a play-off finish.
At home Lanzarote lost just one match, ironically that was to the only side that Lanzarote managed to beat away from home, the eventual leaguewinners CD Atlético Paso.
Last month, goalkeeper Ruymán Fernández was voted “Player of the Season¨ by the club’s season ticket holders and members. On the final match of the season Ruymán was presented the “Nina Gil” trophy in front of the fans by former club legend, Pedro Cruz.
The players and management are now on their summer holidays but as always work has already begun to form a team capable of promotion to Spain’s fourth tier for next season.
The players will return to training in July to prepare for season 2026/27 which usually begins early September. Fixtures aren’t normally released until the end of July
