The Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium is gearing up for a day of celebration and support for CD Tenerife, with a festive atmosphere that will include music, chants, and a leisure zone for all ages before the crucial match.

The pre-match events for the game between CD Tenerife and Barakaldo CF, scheduled for this Friday, will be highlighted by a series of musical performances aimed at uniting the fans. After the teams' warm-up, attendees will have the opportunity to sing the club's Centenary anthem and the song Mi Isla en tus pies, composed by Benito Cabrera, with lyrics projected on the stadium's video scoreboard, which is expected to be at full capacity.
Subsequently, the traditional animation chant Riqui Raca, which has accompanied generations of 'blanquiazul' supporters, will be performed. On this occasion, the chant will be led by a member of the Zoneros fan club, accompanied by her children, in anticipation of Mother's Day celebrations.
The stadium gates will open at 4:30 PM, and the club advises fans to arrive early to fully participate in the pre-match activities. Additionally, the Federación de Peñas has urged attendees to wear white shirts to form a large mosaic in the stands, complemented by team scarves and flags.

"The representative club recommends its fans to arrive at the venue with sufficient anticipation to take part in the pre-match activities."

The program includes children's attractions, DJ performances, inflatable football activities, a virtual reality zone, and food trucks, creating a family-oriented initiative.
