The Elche CF season ticket campaign for this season reveals a significant increase in support from the Vega Baja, positioning it as the second-largest territory with club followers in the province. With a total of 3,573 season ticket holders, this region becomes a key expansion driver, surpassed only by Baix Vinalopó, which leads the rankings with 18,184 fans.
The figures confirm the strong presence of the 'franjiverde' sentiment in the southern part of the province. Following the Vega Baja, other regions such as Medio Vinalopó (1,672) and L’Alacantí (1,585) also show notable support. In an intermediate range are L’Alcoià (412), Marina Baixa (307), and Alt Vinalopó (390). Closing the provincial map, El Comtat (130) and Marina Alta (82) record more modest numbers.
This social boost arrives at a crucial moment, coinciding with the start of LaLiga's First Division season. Elche CF kicked off the competition with a 1-1 draw at the Riazor Stadium against Deportivo de La Coruña. The match, marked by the debut of coach Martín Anselmi, was hard-fought and tactical.
The home team took the lead in the 21st minute thanks to a goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. However, Elche CF reacted in the second half, and after several key saves from local goalkeeper Leo Román, they secured the final draw in the 76th minute with a header from Marc Aguado, earning a valuable point in a demanding venue.
