Ceuta FC has confirmed on Monday the departure of thirteen players from its B‑team, a step that forms part of the overhaul planned for the upcoming campaign in Tercera Federación.

Which players are leaving the B‑team?

The official statement, posted on the club’s Twitter account, lists Pery, Elías, Michael, Armengol, Juanpe, Víctor, Curro, Cobo, Pereke, Guzmán, Danil, Ansu and Javi Gámez as those who will not continue wearing the caballa shirt. The message thanks their effort and highlights their role in the historic season that ended with a play‑off appearance for promotion to Segunda Federación.

Why is this renewal happening?

The sporting director of Ceuta FC aims to keep a competitive block that also serves as a bridge to the first team. With Ceuta B’s season underway, the club wants to balance experience and youth, giving young talents a clear pathway to the senior squad, which already competes in Segunda División.

How does it affect the first team?

While Ceuta B prepares to return to Tercera Federación, the senior side remains in Segunda División, where it sits 11th with 61 points (17 W‑10 D‑15 L) and a recent form of WWLDW. Having scored 51 goals and conceded 63, the team holds a -12 goal difference and is 21 points behind leaders Racing Santander. The continuity of the first‑team roster depends on the B‑team’s ability to produce players ready for the step up.

What’s next for Ceuta B?

Initial reinforcement moves are already emerging. FutbolAsturiano.es reports that the club is interested in Asturian goalkeeper Nel González, who could join to strengthen the net. Management keeps the planning open for both departures and arrivals, aiming to present the coaching staff with a balanced squad that still has room to grow before the season starts.

What is the club’s message?

The statement ends with an emotional “Ceuta will always be your home!”, emphasizing the close bond between the club and the departing players. The board publicly thanks the commitment shown and assures that the new phase will continue building a youth system that feeds the first team with quality and continuity.
