Real Zaragoza and Juventud de Torremolinos will face each other this season in Primera RFEF. The Malaga club, founded in 1958, has been climbing the ranks to reach professional football.
Real Zaragoza will have to travel to the Malaga coast to take on Juventud de Torremolinos, a team that has earned respect through surprises. The Andalusian side, competing in Primera RFEF, has already eliminated Huesca in the Copa del Rey 2022/23 and has signed established players like Dioni, who scored 11 goals in Eldense's promotion.
The match will take place at the Estadio Municipal El Pozuelo, a natural grass pitch with a capacity of 3,000 spectators. For Zaragoza fans, it will be an opportunity to experience a small stadium with a lively atmosphere, typical of traditional football.
A rival with history and growth
Juventud de Torremolinos was founded in 1958 as Club Deportivo Torremolinos, although its current name reflects the youthful origins of its squad. Since then, it has absorbed other local clubs such as Los Leones (1969) and Atlético Torremolinos (1972), establishing itself as the football reference of the town.
Torremolinos, which separated from Malaga in 1988, has around 70,000 inhabitants. The club has combined Third Division with regional categories until it was promoted to Segunda RFEF in 2021/22. A year later, its participation in the Copa del Rey allowed it to eliminate Huesca before falling to Sevilla.
Now, in Primera RFEF, Juventud de Torremolinos faces Real Zaragoza, a team with much more history but one that should not be overconfident. As the saying goes, forewarned is forearmed, and the Andalusians have already shown they know how to pull off surprises.
The impact on Zaragoza fans
For Real Zaragoza supporters, this match means a trip to the Andalusian coast, an opportunity to enjoy a weekend of football and sun. The Estadio El Pozuelo, with its reduced capacity, promises an intimate and noisy atmosphere, far from the large stadiums the Aragonese team is used to.
The blanquillo club must stay alert: Juventud de Torremolinos is not an easy opponent, as demonstrated against Huesca. The match presents a clash between the experience of a historic team and the ambition of a newcomer. And beware, in football, ambition sometimes outweighs titles.
With the transfer market still open, Juventud de Torremolinos continues to strengthen its squad, while Real Zaragoza finalises its lineup. Fans hope the team performs on the pitch, not just with the badge. The match date is yet to be determined, but it is already shaping up to be one of the most attractive of the season for neutrals.
