Ceuta

Make The Case

Ceuta work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Spain, Estadio Alfonso Murube, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.

• Nothing won, everything to play for

  The trophy cabinet is a shelf and a rumour. Supporting Ceuta is a bet on a first, not a return to former glories.

• Close to the pitch

  Estadio Alfonso Murube holds about 6,500. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

• You get a nickname

  Known as Caballas (Mackerels). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

• The calendar you inherit

  Following Spain Segunda División means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Spain becomes part of your week.
