Atlético Paso Secures Promotion to Segunda RFEF After Dramatic Final Day

Atlético Paso has secured its return to the Segunda RFEF after a dramatic final day of the season. The La Palma-based team clinched promotion following a draw against Herbania in Puerto del Rosario, combined with a crucial loss for their closest rivals, San Fernando, at the Silvestre Carrillo stadium.

The outcome of the championship relied on results across the archipelago. While Atlético Paso played to a draw against Herbania—a result that unfortunately relegated the home side to the Preferente division—all eyes were on the San Fernando match. A 90th-minute winner from Mensajero against San Fernando ultimately confirmed Atlético Paso’s promotion.

On the pitch in Fuerteventura, the match was a competitive affair. Atlético Paso took the lead before the half-hour mark when Samu Corral headed in his thirteenth goal of the season from an Ale Martínez throw-in. Although the visitors had chances to extend their lead before the break, Herbania equalized early in the second half with a well-taken free kick from José Yared.

This promotion is a major achievement for Canarian football, restoring a place in the fourth tier of the national league. By handling the pressure of the final day and responding to the equalizer, Atlético Paso has been crowned champions and earned their well-deserved move up to the next division.
