Sporting de Gijón players arrive at Tenerife stadium by taxi

The Sporting de Gijón football team arrived at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium in Tenerife via taxi on August 28, 2026, following a logistical failure. The team's scheduled bus failed to arrive on time from their concentration hotel, causing a delay of approximately 10 minutes.

To resolve the issue, players were divided into groups and transported to the venue in taxis. Because the taxis could not pass through the security cordon, the players were forced to walk approximately 400 meters to reach the pitch. Despite the unconventional arrival, the team proceeded to play their LaLiga Hypermotion match against CD Tenerife, emerging as the winner and moving to the top of the standings.
