Transfers Synthesis
The movement record describes an active reshaping of Elche’s first-team group across 2026. Arrivals include listed transfers, loans and multiple returns from loan, while departures combine transfers, temporary loans, free-agent exits and players returning to previous clubs. Several names appear in different movement events at different dates, including Tiziano Perrota, Buba Sangaré and Gonzalo Villar, showing that the recent changes do not form a simple one-way flow. The latest entries are concentrated in June, July and August 2026, with additional activity recorded in January and February. Because the published movement lists are grouped and not exhaustive, they show the character and timing of recent changes without establishing a complete in-or-out total, an overall squad turnover figure or any financial balance. The pattern is best understood as a mixed sequence of transfers, loans, free-agent departures and returns.
Leagues Elche has participated in
Elche’s recorded competition footprint includes La Liga, Copa del Rey and Friendlies Clubs through 2025, with participation in each marked as recent in the available competition history. La Liga is recorded from 2013, while Copa del Rey begins in 2018 and Friendlies Clubs in 2021. Segunda División is recorded from 2016 to 2024 and is historical in this context, as its latest recorded season predates the recent competition entries. The list reflects competitions with recorded participation and does not establish Elche’s exact 2026-27 schedule or current standing.
More about Elche
Elche Club de Fútbol, S.A.D., commonly known as Elche CF, is a Spanish football club from the city of Elche in Alicante, within the Valencian Community. Founded in 1923, it emerged from the consolidation of several local football traditions and developed into one of the region’s established professional clubs. Its history is closely connected with Spain’s league system, particularly the top two divisions, where periods of progress and difficulty have repeatedly shaped its sporting profile. The club’s most sustained top-flight era ran from 1959 to 1978, a formative period in its national identity. Elche plays at Estadio Martínez Valero, which opened in 1976 and has a capacity of approximately 31,388. The stadium is a prominent landmark in the club’s modern history and provides the setting for the team’s distinctive visual culture. Elche’s traditional colours are white and green, with the home shirt recognised for its horizontal green chest stripe. This feature gives the club its enduring nickname, Franjiverdes, or green-striped ones. The crest incorporates elements associated with the city and combines brown, red, blue and green tones. The club operates as a Sociedad Anónima Deportiva, the Spanish corporate structure used by many professional football organisations. Christian Bragarnik is the club’s owner, a position he has held since 2019. Under this model, Elche’s football ecosystem connects senior competition with recruitment, player development and the financial pressures of Spanish professional football. The club has also carried a reputation for resilience, having navigated periods of financial strain and administrative difficulty while returning to high-level competition. Its recorded competitive environment includes La Liga, Segunda División and the Copa del Rey, alongside regular friendly fixtures. Together, the city, stadium, colours and long movement between divisions define Elche as a club with a strong local identity and a durable place in Spanish football.
