Transfers Synthesis

Castellón’s recorded 2026 movement shows a mixed recruitment and release pattern rather than a single type of transaction. Arrivals include conventional transfers for I. Kostis, D. Muale Nzanza, A. Saipi, J. Vlak, F. Castillo and Raúl Sánchez; free-agent additions such as A. Gala, Iñigo Córdoba, Juanjo Nieto and Álvaro Martín; and a loan for Rodrigo Miguel Ferreira Rêgo. The same arrival snapshot also includes several returns from loan. Departures combine transfers, free-agent exits and loans, alongside returns to parent clubs for Beñat Gerenabarrena and T. De Nipoti. The movement connects Castellón with clubs in Spain and abroad, including Brighton, Atletico Madrid, Melbourne City and Atalanta. Dates cluster around January and late June through August 2026, indicating concentrated activity around the registration period, while the listed entries provide no fee information. Because both lists are capped snapshots, they describe the character and timing of recorded movement without establishing complete totals or net balance.

Leagues Castellón has participated in

Castellón has recent participation records through 2025 in Segunda División, the Copa del Rey and Friendlies Clubs. The league record also includes Primera División RFEF - Group 2 and its Play Offs between 2021 and 2023, while Primera División RFEF - Group 3 is recorded for 2019. These lower-division entries are historical in the available competition history rather than current claims. The Copa del Rey and Segunda División records begin in 2018 and 2020 respectively, and the friendlies record begins in 2020. Together, the entries trace Castellón’s movement through Spain’s league pyramid and domestic cup structure, with the latest listed year being 2025.

More about Castellón

Castellón is the football club of Castellón de la Plana in Spain’s Valencian Community, on the Mediterranean coast. Founded in 1922, it carries a long regional history and a recognised place in Spanish football. The club is commonly associated with the Albinegros identity, reflected in its traditional black-and-white vertical stripes. Those colours give the team a distinctive visual character, while the badge connects football symbolism with local and Valencian heritage.

Nou Estadi Castàlia is Castellón’s municipal all-seater home. The modern stadium stands on the footprint of the historic Castalia ground, linking present-day matchdays with generations of local football. That continuity between place, badge, colours and supporters is central to the club’s culture in Castellón de la Plana. The venue is more than a setting for fixtures, serving as a visible landmark for the city’s football tradition.

The historical record includes several seasons in Spain’s top flight and an appearance in the final of the Copa del Generalísimo. Those milestones form part of a broader story shaped by movement between national divisions, sustained domestic relevance and strong regional significance. Castellón’s profile is primarily Spanish and Mediterranean, with the Copa del Rey providing a continuing national cup connection.

Club Deportivo Castellón, S.A.D. operates within Spain’s professional football framework as a Sociedad Anónima Deportiva. Its structure reflects the corporate form used by Spanish professional clubs, while its identity remains rooted in local history and supporter culture. The black-and-white Albinegro tradition, the Castàlia setting and the club’s long competitive journey combine a distinctly local character with national recognition. Together, they define Castellón as a historic Valencian football institution whose modern sporting life remains connected to its 1922 foundation.
