After the early‑August roster announcements, Spanish lower‑division clubs moved into full preseason mode while emphasizing community involvement. Salamanca UDS B began training under coach Óscar Albo, confirming ten player contracts, and Martos CD opened its preseason with a friendly against Real Jaén and the reopening of Estadio Ciudad de Martos. CD San José started preparations ahead of its Copa del Rey debut, and Granada Femenino recorded a draw with Atlético de Madrid in its first preseason match. Vélez C.F. 1922 launched a fan‑backed ticket campaign for the 2026/27 season, and Cádiz CF secured a 2‑0 friendly win over Granada, extending the earlier 1‑0 loss reported for the men’s side. BM Caserío Ciudad Real received renewed municipal endorsement, while handball clubs Cisne and Teucro began summer training. Municipal authorities in Xalapa, Mexico, supplied new equipment to the Para‑atletismo Pitbulls club, and a Sub‑10 team from Cozumel received uniforms from a local deputy, highlighting parallel youth‑sport support in Mexico. The period underscores a coordinated push by clubs and local governments to ready teams for upcoming league and cup competitions while fostering broader community engagement.
