It has been another busy week around CF Benidorm, with news coming from across the club both on and off the pitch.
While the first team continues its preparations for the next stage of the season, the club has also been looking ahead to its cup campaign, expanding its international offering and continuing to develop its commercial presence.
Here is everything you need to know from the past week.
CF Benidorm handed La Nostra Copa Round of 32 entry
CF Benidorm will enter this season’s La Nostra Copa directly at the Round of 32 stage after being handed exemptions from the opening four rounds of the competition.
The club will therefore begin its cup campaign on 3 January 2027, with the Round of 32 marking its first involvement in this season’s competition.
La Nostra Copa is organised by the Federació de Futbol de la Comunitat Valenciana (FFCV), with the competition providing clubs across the Valencian football pyramid with the opportunity to compete for the regional cup.
The competition has also previously provided a route into the Copa del Rey for the eventual winner, adding another incentive for clubs competing in the tournament.
For CF Benidorm, the wait for their first cup fixture of the season will now continue until the new year.
Santa Pola CF venue update
There has also been an important update regarding the venue for CF Benidorm’s fixture against Santa Pola CF.
We have already covered the venue change in a dedicated article, including the information supporters need ahead of the fixture.

We’ll continue to provide any further updates that supporters need as the fixture approaches.
New CF Benidorm merchandise arrives at Décimas
There is also good news for supporters looking to get their hands on the latest CF Benidorm merchandise.
The new CF Benidorm items have now arrived in Décimas stores, giving supporters the opportunity to purchase the latest club-branded clothing in person.
The range includes the new polo-style shirts, adding another option for supporters looking to represent the club away from matchdays.
However, there is still an issue for supporters outside Spain.
At present, a solution for international shipping has not yet been finalised. The club and Décimas are continuing to work on a way of making the merchandise more accessible to international supporters, including those in the UK.
For now, supporters in Spain can access the new merchandise through Décimas, while we will continue to share any updates regarding international shipping as soon as they become available.
CF Benidorm NEXT launches
One of the biggest developments this week has been the launch of CF Benidorm NEXT, a new programme aimed at young international players looking to experience European football.
The programme is open to both male and female players and offers an opportunity to become immersed in the day-to-day environment of CF Benidorm.
According to the club, CF Benidorm NEXT combines professional training, advanced methodology and real competition within the structure of the club.
Players will work with qualified coaches, train at European-level facilities and experience a competitive football environment designed to support their sporting, personal, educational and cultural development.
The programme represents another step in CF Benidorm’s wider development and international ambitions, giving young players from around the world the opportunity to experience football in Spain while becoming part of the club environment.
It also fits into a wider focus on developing the next generation of players and creating opportunities beyond the first team.
A winning start for the youth women’s team
Sticking with the theme of the next generation, there was also a positive result for the CF Benidorm youth women’s team this week.
The CF Benidorm Juvenil got their preseason campaign off to a winning start with a convincing 4–0 victory over C.D. El Capello Juveniles.
It is an encouraging opening result as the team continues its preparations for the season ahead and provides another example of the work taking place across the club’s developing youth structure.
With CF Benidorm NEXT now also launched, there is clearly an increasing focus on providing opportunities for young players and developing talent across both the men’s and women’s sides of the club.
