Sporting Gijon opens its doors at Mareo for fans

The rojiblanco club will open two training sessions to the public next week at the Mareo Football School, giving supporters a rare chance to experience pre‑season up close under manager Nicolás Larcamón.

What can fans expect during the sessions?

Supporters will be allowed into the Monday morning training and the Thursday afternoon session. Both will showcase Larcamón's initial tactical ideas and the four newly signed players, who will train alongside the rest of the squad. Sporting Atletico will also take part, providing a full picture of the club's project.

Why does this matter to the fans?

Opening the sessions strengthens the bond between the team and its supporters, a strategy the club has pushed to revive stadium energy. Watching the new signings in action helps fans identify future starters and understand the style Larcamón wants to imprint before the 2026‑27 season begins.

What comes after the trainings?

After these days, the side will keep fine‑tuning its play ahead of the Segunda División schedule. Sporting Gijon currently sits 9th with 61 points, 18 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses from 42 games, riding a five‑match winning streak, the latest 2‑1 win over Granada CF on 30 May. The club remains 21 points behind leaders Racing Santander while aiming to solidify its league position.

Practical details for attendees

Entry is free, but arriving early is advised to avoid crowds. Trainings will take place on Mareo's main pitches, with designated viewing areas. Fans can purchase official merchandise at the club shop before or after the session.

What do the players expect?

The new signings, including Spanish striker Alejandro García and Uruguayan midfielder Diego Pérez, have expressed excitement about training in front of fans. "Feeling the support of Gijón people from day one is a huge boost," García said after the club's official presentation.
