Real Sociedad

"It's a very nice context, again for another year, for our players to have the toughest stimuli for the competition," said the new coach of the Royal Society's second team.

The competition will return to Saudi Arabia in 2028, having to change venue for the 2027 edition because it coincides with the Asian Cup organised by the Middle Eastern country on those dates.

The eibartarra has stepped on the field with his teammates after overcoming his pubalgia discomfort.

Real Sociedad player Nahia Aparicio and coach Arturo Ruiz have talked about the playoff against Chelsea, a very special match for Aparicio, while for Ruiz it will be "a new illusion."

The one-way match will be played in London, probably on 26 August, and the return, in Gipuzkoa, will be on 2 September, if there is no change. The winning team will qualify for the league stage, while the loser will move on to the second qualifying round of the Europa Cup.

The Blue White captain has ended his three-week vacation and will start working with the rest of his teammates to prepare for the new season after becoming world champion. The Royal Society will debut in Liga ante el Betis next Friday, August 21, at 9:30 p.m.

The draw will take place on Tuesday at 1 p.m. Arturo Ruiz's team will play the one-way match on August 26, while the return match will be on September 2. The winner of the championship will play the league phase of the Champions League, while the loser will play the Europa Cup.

The team led by Rino Matarazzo has suffered its first defeat this summer after losing 2-1 to Tolous. It was the fourth friendly for the donostiarras. The goals have been for Vignolo and Hidalgo for Tolous. The goal of the Royal Society has been missed by Soler.

The goals of the txuri-urdin team were scored by Carlos Soler, Orri Oskarsson, Gorka Carrera and Iñaki Ruperez. George Hemmings and Brian Madjo were the English scorers. The match was played at the Pallet-Track Bescot in Walsall, England, before about 9,000 fans.

After five and a half seasons marked by a severe knee injury a few months after arriving in San Sebastián, the Andalusian striker will travel to the Asturian club after playing 59 matches with the Royal Society and scoring five goals.

At 20, Lasarte's power station is a pillar in the back of the Royal Society.

Mikel Oyarzabal, recently arrived from the United States, passed through Zubieta, where he was greeted with applause by his fellow trainers for winning the World Cup.

Errenteria's striker was the top scorer of the second Blue White team last season and also managed to play four games with the first team.

Gorrotxa has had a pubalgia since last season. The Eibarrés has explained that they are making a plan to improve. The idea is to compete with the team on the first day. Next season will be as hard for the Royal as it is for the cop.

The Royal Society tied one in its first pre-season match in Zubieta against Racing. Rino Matarazzo was able to try two alignments, one in each part. Oskarsson scored for the Donostiarras in the 19th minute and Gabriel Giménez for the Cantabros in the 82nd.

The Royal Society has started preparing for a new season in Zubieta. After the last few days of medical tests, Arturo Ruiz has had 26 players at his disposal in today's first training. The team has announced 6 files for now. This year they face the challenge of playing in Europe.

The Riojano player suffers an injury to the right ischiotibials, becoming the first player on the Blue White team to suffer a pre-season injury.

The defense, in Zubieta, has appeared before the media on Tuesday. Zubeldia, when asked what he expects of the season, has specified that he intends to make it available to coach Rino Matarazzo in as many games as possible.

The Chilean striker arrived in Zubieta from Granada, where he scored 11 goals last season.
