CD Tenerife eye record-breaking night as promotion dream builds
CD Tenerife are enjoying a season to remember, rewriting the record books both on and off the pitch as their push for promotion gathers momentum. A win at home this Friday (27th February), would see Tenerife register their highest-ever points tally at this stage of a campaign, further underlining the consistency that has defined their year.
Perhaps most impressive of all is the team’s defensive record. After 26 matches, Tenerife have conceded just 13 goals, the best defensive return across Spain’s professional league pyramid.
That solidity at the back has provided the foundation for their promotion challenge and turned the Heliodoro Rodríguez López into one of the toughest venues in the division.
Boost as Dani Fernández Earns Spain Call-Up
There is more good news for supporters. Highly rated youngster Dani Fernández has returned to full fitness and has been selected to represent Spain at the upcoming UEFA Under-19 Championship.
Spain will face England, Croatia and Bulgaria in the tournament, offering the Tenerife prospect another opportunity to shine on the international stage.
Cervera Makes Club History
Adding to the sense of a landmark season, manager Álvaro Cervera has now taken charge of the club for 161 matches, more than any other manager in Tenerife’s history.
His steady leadership has been widely credited with restoring belief and building a side capable of sustained success rather than short bursts of form.
Captain Closing in on All-Time Record
On the pitch, captain Aitor Sanz continues to anchor the midfield and the dressing room alike. He has now made 402 appearances for the club and is edging closer to the all-time appearance record set in the 1970s by Albert Molina.
It is another reminder that this squad blends emerging talent with deep-rooted loyalty and experience.
Optimism — But No Euphoria
Despite the historic milestones and outstanding results, the mood around the island remains measured. Supporters are quietly optimistic rather than swept away by talk of promotion.
The mantra inside and outside the dressing room is clear: one game at a time.
With records tumbling and momentum firmly on their side, Tenerife’s journey continues, but no one is getting ahead of themselves just yet.
