Elche CF draws 0-0 with Johor in preseason, women's team wins COTIF opener 2-0

Elche CF's first‑team side played a second preseason friendly at La Nucía's Camilo Cano stadium, ending 0‑0 against Malaysia's Johor. Coach Martín Anselmi fielded a mix of senior players and academy prospects, noting the match was “a typical preseason game… we need to work on the first 30‑35 minutes.” The club’s owner Christian Bragarnik observed the lack of a dedicated striker and the absence of new signings.

In the women's COTIF tournament, Elche CF defeated CDEB Ontinyent 2‑0. After a missed penalty early on, Noa Sigüenza scored the opener, and following a red card on Ontinyent’s Paula Bolu, Elena converted the subsequent spot‑kick to seal the win. The victory positions the women's side as a contender for the tournament title.
