The 43-year-old was born in Arrecife and made his Primera Liga debut in 2012/13 and since then has gone from strength to strength officiating many El Clásico games […]
The football season never really ends. On the contrary, while the players can let their hair down a little over the summer, the management team is working tirelessly to find the right combination of players capable of challenging for promotion next season. Every year I receive dozens of emails and messages asking the same question: […]
Rojillos manager Ángel López has decided not to renew his contract with UD Lanzarote for personal reasons and has left the club.

Lanzarote’s attitude of never giving up until the ref blows that final whistle earned them a point with a goal deep into stoppage time. Lanzarote went 1-0 down midway through the first half and to be fair were holding on until halftime. The second half began with the Gran Canarian team on top but little […]
