Real Unión de Tenerife Promoted to Primera Federación After Dominant Season

Real Unión de Tenerife has reached a major milestone with its promotion to the Primera Federación. As recently reported by El Día, this achievement cements the Santa Cruz club as one of the most stable organizations in Spanish women’s football. This success was not an overnight fluke; it is the result of steady growth, following a fourth-place finish in the 2022/2023 season and a third-place finish last year, where they narrowly missed out on moving up.

The team secured their promotion at the La Salud pitch with a dominant 9-2 victory over Futbolellas. This win capped off an impressive 17-game unbeaten streak, during which the team recorded thirteen wins and four draws. Coach Robert Hernández credited their strong home performance as the deciding factor, helping the Tenerife side edge out tough competitors like Sant Adriá and Zaragoza.

Moving to the Primera Federación brings the club into a highly competitive environment, where they will face the youth academies of top-tier clubs like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético de Madrid. While this promotion requires the club to adjust its operations, the coaching staff plans to keep the team’s core intact, with intentions to renew about fifteen players to maintain the group's identity.

Strategically, the club now faces the challenge of staying competitive in a tougher division. While the primary goal is to establish themselves in the league, the coaching staff is aiming higher than just survival, hoping to compete with real ambition. For Robert Hernández, this promotion is the highlight of his career, validating a training philosophy built on daily intensity and tactical discipline—an approach that helped players like Gara, the league’s top scorer, thrive within a highly adaptable team.
