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. The UD Lanzarote board of directors were looking, if possible, for a local replacement and someone with experience. Juan Antonio Machín fits those requirements perfectly and will guide UD Lanzarote as manager for […]
Rojillos goalkeeper Ruymán Fernández was presented with the ¨Nina Gil” player of the season trophy for 2025/26 by ex-Lanzarote star Pedro Cruz prior to the final home match on the 10th May. Carlos Maño from the supporter’s club Trifulka presented Ruymán, one of Lanzarote´s four captains the memento whilst Club President Juan Carlos Albuixech gave […]
The Rojillos finish the season in 9th position after sharing the points in Arrecife yesterday. The Rojillos have had little to play for over the last few matches but teams they have been up against were playing for a playoff spot so Lanzarote raised their game and had produced some good performances. Both of these […]

A feisty derby match with plenty at stake for the home side ended in a point apiece. In the 7th minute great work on the right wing from Nadjib fed Nami on the far post who then pulled the ball back for Ale Fuentes to have a free strike from 8 yards but unfortunately, he […]
The Rojillos will travel the short distance up the LZ 20 on Sunday 3rd May to play the final local derby match of this season versus San Bartolomé CF at 12 noon. The Pedro Espinosa “Colon” stadium will open its doors at 10.30am as it is expected to be a full house so it’s advisable […]
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 […]
Prior to the 1-1 home draw last Sunday UD Lanzarote season ticket holders (abonos) and club members (socios) were able to vote for their top three most favourite players of the season with three points awarded for their first choice, two for the second and one point for the third. Goalkeeper Ruymán Fernández is UD […]
The Rojillos will travel to Las Palmas this Saturday 25th April to play UD Tamaraceite at 12 noon. When these two sides met in Arrecife just before Christmas Lanzarote played their best match of the season winning 5-0. The Gran Canarian side dusted off that defeat and with three matches remaining they are poised for […]
The Rojillos in truth had little to play for but showed tremendous spirit in a match that was played in intense heat. In the fourth minute Rojillos striker Moha skipped past defenders and rounded the keeper but from a narrow angle he could only shave the woodwork. Ten minutes later and a superb run from […]
