CD Tenerife has initiated a campaign to engage its supporters in the final stretch of the season, aiming to adorn the island in white and blue in anticipation of the pivotal match that could secure their promotion to the Second Division.

Under the slogan “The struggle begins at home,” this initiative by the Tenerife club primarily seeks to generate an atmosphere of anticipation and unconditional support before Friday's match against Barakaldo. This encounter is crucial, as the team's fate for returning to Spanish football's silver category rests in their own hands.

"Decorate your balcony with white and blue colors and experience a very special week with emotion."

The club's statement invites fans to share their photos on social media, thereby encouraging participation and creating a “final” atmosphere from the beginning of the week. The Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium is expected to see a historic full house on May 1st, reflecting the fans' enthusiasm.
The team approaches this decisive fixture after a 1-1 draw in Ponferrada, a match marked by injuries to two key players and referee controversy over two uncalled penalties. Despite these setbacks, CD Tenerife has managed to maintain its advantage thanks to the performance of its youth academy and Celta Fortuna's draw in the Galician derby.
The calculations are clear: a victory for CD Tenerife against Barakaldo would automatically guarantee promotion to the Second Division, regardless of other results. The reserve team's match will be played at 3:15 PM, allowing the white-and-blues to take the field at 6:00 PM knowing if they can be champions even before their game begins.
