Girona enters the new season in Segunda División with a clear message: the sporting project remains unchanged. Ferran Soriano, the club's CEO, stated that the relegation suffered last campaign does not alter the long-term plans of the Girona-based team. "It's a step back, but it doesn't change Girona's project," the executive told local media. The team, which finished last season in 12th place in La Liga with 38 points (9 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses in 31 games), now faces an immediate challenge in the Segunda División.

What happened to Girona last season?

Girona concluded the 2025-26 campaign in 12th place in La Liga, with a record of 38 points, 33 goals scored, and 45 conceded (a -12 goal difference). Inconsistency was the dominant theme: after a run of three consecutive defeats (DWLWD in their last five matches), the team failed to secure a spot in the mid-table. Soriano acknowledged that relegation to Segunda División —after losing the promotion playoff— was a setback, but insisted the club remains on track. "It's not the end of the road, just a bump in the journey," he noted.

Why Girona's project remains on track

The executive stressed that relegation does not alter the foundations of the sporting project, which includes a clear commitment to youth development and the signing of young talents. "Girona isn't a one-season team," Soriano emphasized, recalling that the club has already proven its ability to compete in La Liga. The Girona-based entity, with a consolidated structure in recent years, maintains its growth objectives intact. The team, which last season showed flashes like the 3-2 win over Real Madrid at Montilivi, now aims to rebuild with ambition.

What's next for Girona?

The club is already working on planning the next Segunda División campaign, with the goal of promotion. The team's first match of the new season is scheduled for January 3, 2027, when Girona will face Sabadell at home. Meanwhile, the board is evaluating reinforcements to bolster a squad that, despite the setback, retains a core of players with La Liga experience. Soriano hinted that negotiations with potential signings are underway, though without haste. "We want to add quality, but without losing sight of our identity," he concluded.

Girona enters this new cycle with the same enthusiasm as always. With 38 points in the bank and a negative goal difference, the Girona-based team knows the road ahead will be demanding. But, as Soriano reminded, the project remains intact: ambition isn't measured in a single season.
