CD Arenteiro, a football club in Galicia, initially withdrew from its scheduled Copa Federación match against Ourense CF to protect player physical condition and allow for squad preparation. 

Subsequently, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) approved the club's conditional registration for the 2026/27 Tercera Federación season. This approval followed the settlement of approximately 180,000 euros in debts related to players, technical staff, and competition guarantees. The decision has faced criticism and potential appeals from Club Juventud Cambados, which alleges irregularities regarding Arenteiro's compliance with tax and social security obligations.
