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 his keeper a signed shirt from everyone involved in the club.

Ruymán was substituted in the 15th minute to give youngster Aythami his first taste of football in the fifth tier.

Ruymán is often the unsung hero and people tend to forget about saves but goals stay long in the memory. I believe that fans voted for him, not only for this season but he has deserved this award because of his form in previous seasons.

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 teams, no matter the result were going to finish mid table so the result pretty much sums up the contest.

The highlight of the day was goalkeeper Ruymán receiving his player of the season award from ex Rojillo player Pedro Cruz.

Congratulations to CD Atlético Paso who could only manage a 1-1 draw against relegated CD Herbania, however with UD San Fernando unable to win their match this made Atlético Paso champions and they are automatically promoted to RFEF 2 (fourth tier). Very well deserved.

Lanzarote´s four captains. The team gave Alex Cruz his newly born daughter Gia her very first football shirt.

Best of luck to all the teams in the playoffs and best wishes to those four teams who have been relegated.

In football there is always next season.

As a mark of respect and appreciation the club wish to continue recognising ex-players who helped shape the proud history of UD Lanzarote by inviting them to present the award.

Pedro Cruz still a regular supporter at Lanzarote´s matches.

In recent seasons players such as Maciot, Vladi and Rosmen have all been acknowledged and this Sunday Pedro Cruz will do the honours.

Pedro was part of the first side that won promotion to Spain’s Segunda B (Third Tier) back in the late 90s. He also played in three of Lanzarote´s Copa del Rey classic matches.

The first of those was a remarkable 5-1 win versus Primera Liga side CD Tenerife. This was followed by Lanzarote’s most famous match ever when the Rojillos hosted Giants Real Madrid.

The Galacticos included probably the world’s best two players at that time, Zidane and Figo, others included Guti, Makele, Geremi and McManaman.

After going 0-1 down the Rojillos levelled through Vladi in the 41st minute and Pedro Cruz and his teammates went into the break with arguably the world’s best side with the score even at 1-1. Eventually Lanzarote succumbed to a 1-3 defeat.

In 2002 coach Luis Aragones brought his Atlético Madrid team to Ciudad Deportiva. Pedro captained the side and earned his team an early penalty as Lanzarote took a shock 1-0 lead.

A young Fernando Torres levelled also from the spot before the break. Atlético went on to secure a late 1-2 win.

Please show your appreciation to both Pedro and this season’s “Nina Gil” UD Lanzarote player of the season, goalkeeper Ruymán Fernández this Sunday just before kick off.

Doors will open at 11am and simply pay on the door. If you wish to avoid any queues then match tickets are also available from our merchandise shop in Costa Teguise at CC Nautical, Local 25, The shop is open  Monday to Friday from 10am to 1pm and also on Wednesday 5-7pm.

Adults 10 Euros, Pensioners 8 Euros and all children 15 years or under are admitted free of charge (discounts for residents with I.D.) Cash preferred as quicker. Refreshments and club merchandise available inside the stadium on match days.

It looks as though there will be a terrific atmosphere at Sundays match with the supporter’s club Trifulka expected to be out in force for one last time so it should be noisy. Prior to the kick off, the presentation will be made to goalkeeper Ruymán Fernández for winning player of the season which can only add to the festivities.

Our Tenerife visitors are in 10^th spot and a win would see them go above Lanzarote on head-to-head meetings though they have been in dreadful form of late.

Lanzarote are in 8^th position and that’s as good as it can get after a disappointing second half of the season but their home form has been excellent with 11 wins, 4 draws and a single defeat.

At the top of the table there are two sides on level points but only one team will achieve automatic promotion. Club Atlético Paso have the advantage over head-to-head so UD San Fernando must hope that they can drop points against CD Herbania who must win f they are to have any hope of avoiding relegation.

Come and say farewell to season 2025/26 in Arrecife this Sunday.

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 sliced his shot and missed a great opportunity to give his side the lead.

The Batateros (Sweet potato farmers) controversially took the lead in the 16th minute from a corner kick. It looked as though Rojillos midfielder Dani González was pushed as he inadvertently headed the ball into his own net to give the home side a 1-0 lead.

Lanzarote enjoyed most of the possession and created the better chances with Nami hitting the side netting and a 25-yard strike from Pablo forced Agoney into a full stretch diving save but the locals went into the break with the 1-0 lead.

Lanzarote kept pressing and got their reward in the 53rd minute. Nami forever running down the channels was found with a clever pass from Pablo and from 10 yards blasted the ball into the top left corner to level at 1-1.

Nami, scorer of the Rojillos goal.

Tackles were flying in left, right and centre and the officials had difficulty controlling the passion of the players.

At the end of the match some San Bartolomé fans were insulting some of Lanzarote’s technical team and things began to boil over but thankfully it was brought under control.

With this point San Bartolomé have their destiny in their own hands for next week’s final match.

Lanzarote’s final game of the season is at home on Sunday May 10th versus Real Unión de Tenerife 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 to arrive early. Entrance is 6 Euros.

San Bartolomé have struggled this season and have been in and out of the relegation positions the whole campaign. With two matches remaining they are one position and one point out of the drop zone but are unbeaten in their last four outings and have notched up 8 priceless points.

The Rojillos are also unbeaten in their last four matches and will have no sympathy for the plight of the Batateros (Sweet potato farmers) as they play for their pride and want to end their season on a high.

Lanzarote went 1-0 down midway through the first half and to be fair were holding on until halftime.

Ruymán captain in the absence of the injured Raúl.

The second half began with the Gran Canarian team on top but little by little Lanzarote fought their way back into the match.

Rojillos manager Ángel López brought on Nadjib, Pablo, Fuentes and Moha and you could feel the nerves take hold with Tamaraceite.

Deep into stoppage time Lanzarote got what they deserved when Moha smashed the ball in from eight yards.

Tensions flowed at the end of the match with Tamaraceite players chasing the Rojillo players into their dressing room.

Despite this Tamaraceite remain in third spot and are all but assured a playoff finish.

Lanzarote remain in eighth after this spirited display and next Sunday 3rd May play the local Derby match away in San Bartolomé at 12 noon.

Goalkeeper Ruymán Fernández is UD Lanzarote´s Player of the Season 2025/26 as voted for by the fans. Ruymán is one of the clubs four captains and anyone that knows him understands his love and desire for the club. Over the past few years Ruymán and his fellow goalkeeper and friend Alejandro have always had their fair share of the votes and it is wonderful to see that the Rojillo fans have recognised this and awarded him the honour of winning the trophy.

The fans Player of the Season Ruymán Fernández.

UD Lanzarote President Juan Carlos Albuixech informed Ruymán today on his 38^th birthday that he was voted player of the season and as expected he was delighted.

Ruymán will have the honour of being presented the “Nina Gil” trophy on the pitch at the final home league game of the season versus Real Unión Tenerife on May 10^th by UD Lanzarote legend Pedro Cruz.

 UD Lanzarote´s second most voted player is last season’s winner, captain Raúl Fernández. Raúl is a quiet man and just does his no nonsense talking on the pitch. I cannot remember a game where he played badly however, he made one mistake in a playoff match a couple of years ago in Gran Canaria which led to a goal.Typically, I sat next to him on the flight home and I was old enough and wise enough to not utter a word, his expression told me everything.

Second place goes to Captain Raúl Fernández who was last seasons winner.

Third place goes to Javi Martín. Last season Javi was voted in fifth place but this season he has cemented third spot and I’m sure that he will want to continue the climb next season. Normally a midfielder but for parts of this campaign due to injuries he has played centre back and has excelled. He has brought that elegance and vision he possesses to the defence and in an instant, he can turn defence into attack with one of his trademark passes.

Midfielder Javi Martín in third place.

Incredibly four players share fourth spot Adrián Machín, Miguel Gopar, Yeray Tavio and Moha.

These are the top five most voted players for UD Lanzarote this season:

1. Ruymán Fernández (182 points)
2. Raúl Fernández (151)
3. Javi Martín (120)
4. Adrián Machín, Miguel Gopar, Yearay Tavio, Moha (54)

Congratulations to all the players and Happy Birthday to the ¨Nina Gil¨ Player of the Season 2025/26, Ruymán.

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 a playoff finish, whereas Lanzarote hopes of extending their season beyond May 10th have diminished as they sit in 8th spot and are seven points adrift.

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 Captain Raúl led to another great chance for Moha but this time the ball went agonizingly past the far post.

The Gran Canarian side are only goal difference from top spot and midway through the first half some excellent team play led to a headed goal to give them a 0-1 lead.

The Rojillos battled away and on the third time of asking Moha chipped the oncoming keeper planting the ball in the left hand corner to level the game.

In the second half despite the heat it was end to end stuff. In the 70th minute a mistimed challenged by Loukou earned him his second yellow card and Lanzarote were down to 10 men.

UD San Fernando smelt blood and pushed forward but they were met with a resilient makeshift defence.

When there was a chance for a counterattack Ale Fuentes, Machín, Yeray Tavio and Nadjib broke with urgency and Lanzarote did have the better chances.

On one of these breaks a square ball across the six yard box looked destined for Yeray Tavio to win it for his side but a miraculous save from the keeper denied Lanzarote their 14th home win of the season.

Lanzarote remain in eighth spot and next Saturday 25th April travel to Gran Canaria to face third placed side UD Tamaraceite at 12 noon.
