Santi Cazorla joins Real Oviedo fans for Asturian derby

Former Real Oviedo player Santi Cazorla joined the crowd as a supporter during the Asturian derby on September 27, 2026. Following his retirement this past summer, Cazorla chose to experience the local match as a fan rather than a former professional athlete.

Real Oviedo released footage on social media showing Cazorla interacting passionately with the supporters. The video captures the former player amidst the crowd, where his presence reportedly boosted team morale and strengthened the emotional connection between the club and its community. Cazorla expressed a desire to participate without special privileges, engaging directly with the fans during the event's buildup.
