Spanish football clubs are navigating preseason preparations and squad adjustments. Nàstic de Tarragona captain Marc Montalvo expressed optimism about the new season, noting that the squad has engaged in self-criticism to avoid previous mistakes despite high player turnover.

However, recent match results have highlighted challenges. Nàstic recorded only one victory in seven preseason friendlies, most recently falling 2-0 to Villarreal B. Similarly, Marbella FC has struggled with offensive efficiency, suffering four consecutive losses and scoring only one goal across four preseason tests.
