Elche CF 2026 pre‑season friendlies
Entities: Antonio Gala · CD Castellón · Girona CF · Alex Sánchez · Martin Anselmi
Overview
In late July 2026, Spanish club Elche CF began its pre‑season preparations with a series of international friendly matches. On 24 July the first‑team side played a goalless draw against Malaysia’s Johor at La Nucía, while the club’s women’s team opened the COTIF tournament with a 2‑0 win over CDEB Ontinyent. Five days later, on 29 July, Elche faced United Arab Emirates champions Al Ain at Pinatar Arena, a match that ended 2‑2 after goals from Al Ain’s new signing Giorgos Giakoumakis and a late strike by Alex Sánchez for Elche. Both fixtures were used by coach Martín Anselmi to evaluate squad depth and integrate new or returning players ahead of the upcoming season.
