Medical Checks for the start of the new season.

The pre-season is starting, first are the medical tests the players must undergo each season to be sure they are fit to play.


The first 5 Players passed their medicals yesterday in the standard tests taken before they can start pre-season training. These were Ricardo, Pablo Sicilia, Omar Ramos, Iriome González y Rubén Rosquete. Interestingly all local players.

The tests took place in the Clínica Parque, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife from 10 am in the morning. Doctor Juan José Valencia was in charge of the examination with the assistance of his collegue Alejandro de la Rosa, a cardiologist.

The footballers took blood for complete round of tests, a chest x-ray, a chest eco-cardio test, and a resistance test.

Tuesday the players going for tests are Luis García, Sergio Aragoneses, Carlos Bellvís, Aitor Núñez & Ezequiel Luna, and then on Wednesday the following shold be tested: Marc Bertrán, Juanlu Hens, Mikel Alonso, Dani Kome & Nino.
As a side note, Mikel was in Johanesburg with his father to watch his brother win the world cup so I am not surprised he is in Wednesday's group. He predicted the win but thought it would be 2-0 for Spain.

New Players and the pre-season games.

The club has announced that the sale of new season tickets is finished as there are none left.

Aitor Núñez, the latest signing by CD Tenerife. The player comes from Atlético Madrid B and has signed for three years.
Pablo Sicilia has signed up to the club for another three years too.The player has played regularly for the last three seasons, 38 games in the season 06/07 32 games in the season 07/08 and 32 games this last season.
The players are now back and from the 26th of July to the second of August they are in La Palma for pre-season training in Barlovento. There they will play 2 matches one against barlovento on the 31st of July and the second in Santa Cruz de La Palma the capital in the final of the Santa Cruz de la Palma tournament.
Wednesday the 5th of August the team will play CD Marino in the Antonio Domínguez stadium in Los Cristianos followed by sunday the 9th of August when they play against Real Sociedad in the final of the Teide Trophy in La Orotava.
The very next day the 10th of August they then fly to the Spanish mainland to La Manga to hold their second stage of pre-training. They are there until the 16th of August and will play three friendly games during their stay.
On the 11th of August they play Elche CF in the Martínez Valero Stadium, as part of the III edition of the ‘Copa Puma’. On the 13th the blanquiazules (blue and whites) will test themselves against FC Cartagena, one of the newly ascended teams to the 2A league, and finally on the 15th of August the play against Real Betis Balompié , also in La Manga del Mar Menor.

Once they are back on the Island the Tenerife team will play their last pre-season games and training. There will be a game on the 19th against a yet undecided rival and the presentation of the team to the fans on the 22/23 of August in the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium.

Are these the season ticket prices and a new player

The club has announce they will hold a press conference on monday at 13.30 when the season ticket prices will be announced.



But there is floating around the Island a horror that the prices on the Zonablanquiazul.com website are true.

The San sebastian seats accordning to the site will almost double in price. This is an enormous increase. I am not sure if these are the prices and am waiting patiently to see but it would be a blow if they are especially as we need 3 season tickets.

The club have announced that the first contract with a new player has been signed, Carlos Belvís Lorens a left winger is coming from Valencia. He has layed the last 2 seasons for Numancia and Elche. he says he is pleased to play on the Island he hopes the club stays in Primera a long time and that if he gets a chance to play a lot of minutes that would be even better.

15,000 Season Ticket holders needed

The club announced that the final number of season ticket holders last season was a little over 10,000. The hope is that this number will rise to 15,000 this season. The date for selling the season tickets has been postponed because of the refurbishment to the stadium and hasn't been announced.
In the meeting on thursday the 25th of June Miguel Concepción stated that the last time Tenerife was in the first division they had 12,000 season ticket holders and that he didn't see why they could not reach the 15,000. He then commented that everyone was interested in inowing when the sale would start. He stated that the season tickets would be on of the cheapest in the Primera division, that although they would go up it would not be by much and that the fans would be less than expected.

It has also been announced that Tenerife will not be buying a star player as if he is injured it would leve us with nothing. Better they commented to work at forming a strong block to play well. The sort of players Tenerife are looking for are ones who want to work and to comit themselves to the club.
