Why Real Jaén CF

Here is the argument for Real Jaén CF: Spain, Spain Copa del Rey, and a ground called Nuevo La Victoria. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

You get a nickname
Known as Los Blancos (The Whites) Los Lagartos (The Lizards). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Worth the journey
Nearest airport is F.G.L. Airport Granada-Jaén Airport (GRX), roughly 65km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
Following Spain Copa del Rey 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.
Old enough to matter
1922 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
