Granada Club de Fútbol

After a 35 year absence Granada CF or the Rojiblancos as they are fondly known, have returned to La Primera División, the top flight of Spanish football. After gaining consecutive promotions in the last 2 years they will now be playing against some of the top teams in the world.

Following the excitement of last June’s play-off victory the aim for this year will have to be to retain their status in the first division, anything more than survival will be a bonus.

Granada play in the 20,000 seater Estadio de los Carmenes in the Zaidin neighbourhood.
