Buy Levante tickets for the 2026/27 La Liga season and you are buying into a club that spent last December bottom of the division and finished it in the top flight. Julian Calero was dismissed on 30 November 2025 after fourteen rounds with Levante last of twenty, Luis Castro arrived on 20 December on a contract to 2027, and the side he inherited recovered to finish sixteenth on 42 points. Mallorca went down on the same total.

That is the context for every fixture at the Ciutat de Valencia this season. Levante are the oldest club in the city, founded in 1909, and they have spent most of their existence outside the top flight watching a wealthier neighbour occupy it. Survival is the objective again, the margins will be similar, and the ground behaves accordingly.
What follows covers what a seat at the Ciutat de Valencia actually costs, how the abono system shapes what reaches open sale, which stand suits which kind of supporter and which fixtures sell out first. Every league fixture with a live listing page, home and away, is linked at the foot of this one.
Levante hold around 25,354 in a city where the other club has a ground more than twice that size, and the season pass base takes the majority of it. What reaches general sale is the residue, released a few weeks before each fixture, which for most of the calendar is workable and for a handful of dates is not.
The timing problem is the same one every visiting supporter meets in Spain. La Liga confirms kick-off slots only weeks ahead, and anyone flying into Valencia has booked flights and accommodation long before the club opens a window. By the time seats appear, the trip is committed and the derby has gone.
Resale reverses that order. Seats released by pass holders who cannot attend reach the open market, so you secure the position first and build the trip around it. Because those releases come from individuals spread across all four sides rather than a block held back by the club, the choice of stand is usually wider than a public sale offers, which matters at a ground where the stands differ considerably.
1BoxOffice has operated as a verified secondary marketplace since 2006, a span covering Levante's sixth-place finish in 2012, their only European campaign and the several promotions and relegations either side of them. Orders are checked rather than simply listed, sellers are vetted before inventory goes live and delivery is tracked from confirmation through to matchday.
Sellers set their own prices, which can sit above or below face value depending on the fixture, the stand and how close kick-off is. The protection attached to each order does not vary, which counts when you are buying into a ground where a sold-out fixture can mean nothing available at any price.
Demand at Levante is driven by a particular kind of loyalty: a support that has watched the club move between divisions repeatedly and has kept turning up regardless. The absolute numbers are modest and the pressure is real, because the pool reaching open sale is small.
The drivers below combine differently by fixture. A February match against a fellow lower-half side behaves nothing like the derby.
Read together, these describe a market where the routine fixtures stay accessible and a handful do not. Work out which category your chosen date falls into rather than assuming a smaller club means easy availability.
Pricing at the Ciutat de Valencia sits at the accessible end of La Liga for most of the calendar, which makes a fixture here one of the better-value ways into Spanish top-flight football. The spread is wide, though, because the derby and the visits of the three biggest clubs pull well clear of everything else on the fixture list.
Stand matters here more than at a modern bowl. The Tribuna along the main side carries the fullest cover and the highest prices, the Lateral sits opposite, and the Gol Alboraya and Gol Orriols ends occupy the lower end of the range behind each goal. The ground is steep and compact, so even the lower-priced ends put you closer to the pitch than mid-priced seats at a larger stadium.
Timing is where visitors lose out. Because the season pass base takes most of a 25,354-seat ground, the volume reaching open sale is limited, and for the derby it is negligible. For a Sunday afternoon against lower-half opposition in autumn there is usually room to be patient. The ranges below reflect typical resale pricing rather than face value.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| La Liga (standard fixtures) | £35 – £125 |
| La Liga (Valencia derby) | £100 – £420+ |
| La Liga (Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid) | £85 – £380+ |
| La Liga (lower-demand fixtures) | £28 – £90 |
| Copa del Rey (early rounds) | £18 – £65 |
| Copa del Rey (later rounds) | £45 – £170 |
| Hospitality / VIP | £180 – £900+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Yes. Levante operate a socio and abonado structure in which the season pass is the meaningful commitment, and neither it nor any separate tier is required to attend a match. What the pass decides is who gets first access when seats are released, and in a ground this size that ordering determines most of what is available.
The practical obstacle is supply rather than eligibility. General sale opens on whatever pass holders have not taken, a few weeks before each fixture, which works for most of the calendar and does not work for the derby or the visits of the wealthiest clubs. There is no membership route a visiting supporter can realistically use for a single trip.
The secondary market removes the question. Seats released by pass holders reach the open market, which means no Spanish address, no local payment method and no need to plan a trip around a sales window that opens three weeks out. It also lets you commit in October for a fixture in March, which is the only way a trip from outside Spain can be planned with confidence.
Levante's season pass base is the product of more than a century of instability. This is a club that has bounced between divisions repeatedly, has never won a major honour and shares a city with a considerably wealthier neighbour, and the support has stayed through all of it. That is why a ground of 25,354 fills for fixtures that decide nothing beyond survival.
The pricing reflects the market the club operates in and the district it sits in. Orriols is a working neighbourhood in the north of Valencia rather than a wealthy one, and the pass is priced to keep it within reach of the people who live there. It covers nineteen home league fixtures plus cup football, and holders take priority on away allocations including the derby at Mestalla.
| Season Pass Area | Typical Annual Range (GBP) | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Gol Alboraya and Gol Orriols | £150 – £260 | Behind the goals, the most affordable route into the pass system and where the noise is generated |
| Upper side sections | £200 – £320 | Elevated seating with a complete view of a compact pitch |
| Lateral | £260 – £420 | The side opposite the dugouts, with a clear view across the pitch |
| Tribuna, outer blocks | £340 – £520 | Main stand away from the halfway line, covered and nearer the tunnel end |
| Tribuna, central blocks | £460 – £740+ | Halfway-line seating on the main side, the most sought-after positions in the ground |
Ranges are indicative and may change from season to season depending on the club's pricing structure and its division.
The Ciutat de Valencia is a steep, enclosed ground where the choice of stand genuinely changes the afternoon. Cover, elevation and proximity all vary noticeably between areas, and the difference between the ends and the main side is more pronounced than at a modern stadium.
| Stand / Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gol Orriols | Atmosphere and singing | Lower | Where the organised support gathers behind the goal with flags and drums. Standing for long stretches, and the section that sets the tone in a ground steep enough to hold the noise. |
| Gol Alboraya | Value behind the goal | Lower | The opposite end, quieter with a straight-on view of one penalty area. Also the area nearest the visiting allocation. |
| Tribuna, central blocks | Clean view and cover | Upper | Main stand at the halfway line, closest to the benches and covered. The clearest read of the game and the driest seats in the ground. |
| Tribuna, outer blocks | Cover at a lower price | Mid to upper | Same stand, further towards the corners. Keeps the roof and the side-on angle at a meaningful saving on the central blocks. |
| Lateral | Side-on view at mid price | Mid | Opposite the dugouts with an unobstructed view across the pitch. Popular with regulars who want the angle without the Tribuna premium. |
| Upper side sections | Overall perspective | Mid | Steep and elevated with a complete view of the bowl. The clearest sense of what the ground looks like when it is full, and cover varies by block. |
Away travel from Valencia is easier than from most of the division, with Villarreal, Elche and the Madrid grounds all within reasonable reach and good rail links across the country. Season pass holders take priority on away allocations, and for the derby at Mestalla that allocation is the most contested of the year.
| Away Matchday Factor | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Standard allocation | La Liga grounds generally set aside around 5 per cent of capacity for visiting supporters, though the figure varies by venue and by the risk classification attached to the fixture. |
| Typical location | Upper corner or upper goal end, segregated with a separate entrance and concourse. At the largest grounds that can mean a long climb from turnstile to seat. |
| Access requirements | Allocations are distributed through the club, with season pass holders served first. Photo identification matching the ticket is commonly requested for fixtures classified as high risk, and the derby always is. |
| Home-section listings | Many away-day supporters end up in home areas. That is manageable at a quieter ground and a poor idea at Mestalla, where visible Levante colours in a home block invite relocation. |
| Transport and timing | Valencia has strong rail and air links across Spain, but kick-offs run late and a finish after 10.45pm rules out same-night travel from most of the country. |
Treat each away fixture as its own piece of planning. Confirm the kick-off slot before booking travel, check which block a listing sits in and dress neutrally if you end up outside the designated visiting section.
Supporters arrive in Orriols for different reasons, and a compact ground gives you a real choice rather than a compromise. A visitor adding a match to a week on the Valencian coast wants something different from a Granota who has waited all year for the derby. The table below maps the common priorities.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere | Gol Orriols | Where the organised support gathers with drums and flags, and where the singing starts. Expect to be standing for most of the ninety minutes. |
| View of the game | Tribuna, central blocks | Halfway line on the main side, covered and elevated enough to read the shape of the match rather than just follow the ball. |
| Families and first visits | Lateral or the outer Tribuna | Seated throughout, calmer than the ends and with straightforward concourse access. Every seat is close to the pitch in a ground this compact. |
| Premium experience | Tribuna hospitality areas | Central positioning with catering and dedicated access. Modest by the standards of the wealthiest clubs and priced far below equivalent packages elsewhere in the division. |
| Lower-priced entry | Gol Alboraya and the upper sections | The most affordable seats in the ground with a full view of the pitch. Steep, but the sightline is clean from the back row. |
The Ciutat de Valencia opened on 9 September 1969, on the sixtieth anniversary of the club's founding, in the Orriols district in the north of the city. It holds around 25,354 across a steep bowl with a pitch measuring 107 by 69 metres, and it has been Levante's home for every season since, through four divisions and more promotions and relegations than most clubs manage in twice the time.
It is a working ground in a working neighbourhood rather than a showpiece, and that is central to how supporters see it. Orriols is one of the more modest parts of Valencia, a long way in character from the marina and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciencies that visitors usually see, and the stadium is embedded in the streets around it rather than set apart from them. Details of the current configuration are set out on the Ciutat de Valencia stadium page.
The bowl is steep and enclosed, which does more for the atmosphere than the capacity suggests. Levante crowds are among the more vocal in the division relative to their size, and the ground amplifies rather than disperses it. For visitors who have done Mestalla across the city, or the larger Madrid and Barcelona grounds, the contrast is the point of coming here.
Cover and elevation vary between stands because the ground has been modified in stages rather than rebuilt at once. The main side is fully covered and the ends less consistently so, which matters for evening kick-offs in the winter months. Check exactly which stand and block a listing names against the Ciutat de Valencia seating plan before you commit rather than after.
Getting there is straightforward. The ground sits in the north of the city and is served by the Valencia metro, with tram and bus routes covering the surrounding streets, and the journey from the centre takes around twenty minutes. Valencia airport is a short ride out to the west, and the city is well connected by high-speed rail to Madrid and along the Mediterranean coast.
The pre-match routine differs from a trip to Mestalla. Orriols has neighbourhood bars rather than a strip built for visiting supporters, and most people eat in the centre or in Russafa before heading north. That said, the walk in through ordinary Valencian streets, past people going about a Sunday, is a large part of why supporters rate a day at Levante over a day at a bigger club in the same city.
On matchday the ground opens well before kick-off and, because it is compact and the metro delivers people steadily, queues clear faster than at larger stadiums. Forty-five minutes ahead is comfortable for a routine fixture, though the derby merits an hour for a Ciutat de Valencia that fills long before the teams appear.
Hospitality at Levante is a modest operation compared with what the wealthiest Spanish clubs sell, and the pricing follows. What exists is concentrated in the Tribuna, where the club has lounge and catering space alongside the central seating on the main side.
The value for a visiting supporter is twofold. It is a route into fixtures where general availability has closed, which at this ground happens more often than the club's profile suggests, and it is a way of building a longer afternoon around a match in a city worth the trip on its own. The ranges below reflect typical resale pricing rather than a fixed schedule.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seating | Central Tribuna seat with a dedicated entrance and access to a shared lounge before the match and at half time. | £180 – £320 |
| Lounge package | Central seating plus catering, a bar and a longer lounge window either side of kick-off. | £280 – £480 |
| Dining package | Seated dining before the match, halfway-line seating and post-match lounge access. | £430 – £750 |
| Group and corporate | Blocks of premium seats with catering arranged for a party, suited to company entertaining or a group trip. | £900 – £3,200+ per group |
| Derby and marquee fixtures | Any of the above applied to the Valencia derby or a visit from Barcelona or Real Madrid, where demand raises the rate sharply. | £400 – £1,400+ |
Provision is limited given the size of the operation, so for a specific date it is worth looking several months ahead rather than in the final weeks.
Buying through a marketplace is simple once you know what each stage is doing. The sequence below runs through a complete purchase, from finding the fixture to the ticket arriving, with the checks worth making at each point.
Step1
Find your fixture
Start from the fixture lists at the foot of this page and open the match you want. Each fixture has its own page with live listings, so you are always looking at availability for that specific date rather than a general pool.
Step2
Set up your account
Browsing needs no sign-in, but completing a purchase and following the order afterwards does. It takes under a minute to create an account, and having one ready before the derby appears matters at a ground where that fixture sells out quickly.
Step3
Filter by stand and budget
Narrow listings by area of the ground and by price before comparing anything else. If noise is the priority, work towards the Gol Orriols. If you want cover and the cleanest angle, aim for the central Tribuna instead.
Step4
Read the listing notes carefully
The notes carry the detail that decides whether a seat suits you: whether tickets are sold in pairs, whether seats are together, which stand they sit in and how they will be delivered. Cover is the one to check here, because the ground has been modified in stages and not every section has a roof.
Step5
Check the quantity before you commit
Groups should confirm the listing holds enough seats together rather than assuming adjacency. In a ground where individual pass holders release single seats, split parties are a common outcome and worth heading off at this stage.
Step6
Complete secure checkout
Payment runs through a secure gateway and the total shown at checkout is what you pay. Confirm the fixture date and kick-off time on the confirmation screen, which matters in Spain where slots are set only a few weeks ahead.
Step7
Receive your order confirmation
A confirmation email arrives immediately with your order reference and the expected delivery method. Keep the reference somewhere you can find it, because it is the fastest route to support if the fixture is rescheduled.
Step8
Follow delivery through to matchday
Use the track order page to monitor progress from confirmation to delivery. Spanish clubs commonly issue tickets close to the match, so a quiet tracker a fortnight out is normal rather than a warning sign.
Followed in order, those eight stages are unremarkable, which is the point. The work belongs at the listing stage, where reading the notes properly prevents almost every problem that arises later.
Home dates at the Ciutat de Valencia do not behave uniformly. Some Levante tickets stay listed for weeks while others are gone the day they appear, and the gap is stark because one fixture in particular carries the weight of a century. Knowing which category applies tells you how far ahead to commit.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Valencia at home | The Derbi Valencia, and the fixture the season is measured against in Orriols. The two clubs have met 38 times competitively with Valencia holding a clear advantage, which is exactly why a home win here means more than any three points elsewhere. |
| Barcelona and Real Madrid | Two dates that pull national and international demand into a 25,354-seat ground. Availability is thin from the moment the fixtures are confirmed and does not improve. |
| Atletico Madrid and the European contenders | Fixtures against the sides competing at the top of the table, where a Levante win at home is a realistic prospect rather than a fantasy and supporters turn up expecting one. |
| Relegation six-pointers | Levante survived on 42 points last season, level with the club that went down. Matches against the sides immediately around them carry an intensity no fixture list conveys in August. |
| Season opener and the run-in | The first home match under a manager who kept the club up draws a curious crowd on top of the regulars, and the closing fixtures accelerate sharply when survival is unresolved, which at Levante it usually is. |
Delivery depends on the seller and on how the club issued that particular ticket. Spanish clubs have moved steadily towards digital issuance, and most orders now arrive electronically rather than on paper.
Read the delivery method in the listing notes before buying. If you are arriving in Valencia on the morning of the match, a listing offering postal delivery to a home address is the wrong purchase whatever the price.
Gates open well before kick-off and, because the ground is compact and the metro delivers supporters steadily rather than in one wave, queues clear faster than at larger stadiums. Forty-five minutes ahead is comfortable for a routine fixture, and an hour is sensible for the derby when the streets around Orriols fill from mid-afternoon. The journey from the centre takes around twenty minutes, so eating in Russafa or the old town beforehand is entirely practical.
Bring photo identification that matches the name on your booking. Spanish clubs request it more frequently than English ones, particularly for fixtures classified as high risk, and the Valencia derby always is. Load digital tickets before you reach the turnstile and make sure your phone has charge, because signal around the ground degrades when the crowd arrives together.
Bag rules follow the standard Spanish top-flight pattern and there is no cloakroom, so anything refused at the gate has to go back with you. Large bags and rucksacks are turned away, as are glass containers, flares, smoke devices, selfie sticks, poles and professional cameras with detachable lenses. Not every section is covered, so a light waterproof is worth carrying for winter evening fixtures on the Mediterranean coast.

Levante were founded in 1909, ten years before the club that now dominates the city, and almost everything about how they see themselves follows from that. This is an institution that has spent more than a century as the second club in its own city, has never won a major honour and has kept a support through four divisions. The identity is built on persistence rather than achievement.
The early decades gave Levante the two things they still trade on: seniority in the city and a trophy nobody can quite agree about. The Copa de la Espana Libre was contested in 1937 in the Republican zone while the Civil War was under way, and Levante beat Valencia 1-0 at Montjuic to win it. Whether it counts as a national cup has been argued for the better part of a century, which in a sense makes it the most Levante honour imaginable. The merger with Gimnastico in 1939 created the modern club and brought the frog nickname with it.
For most of the second half of the twentieth century Levante were a third-tier club with a second-tier ground and a first-tier city. Five Segunda B championships between 1979 and 1999 tell the story: a club repeatedly good enough to win the third division and repeatedly unable to stay above it. The stadium that opened in Orriols in 1969 was built on the assumption of better times, and it waited a long while for them.
The finest decade in the club's history produced the finish that supporters still measure everything against. The 2011/12 side under Ballesteros took sixth place in La Liga and a European place, with Arouna Kone scoring 17 and Keylor Navas emerging in goal before Real Madrid and three Champions League titles. The Europa League run the following season reached the last 16 and ended against Rubin Kazan in extra time, and it remains the only continental football the club has played.
The most recent cycle has been the familiar one at speed. Relegation in 2022 was followed by three seasons in the second division, the third of which produced 79 points and a return. What happened next was the closest thing to a collapse and a rescue the division produced last year: bottom of La Liga at the end of November, a change of manager three weeks later, and a finish on 42 points that kept the club up on the same total that sent Mallorca down.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jose Luis Morales | Forward, two spells | Has played more matches for Levante than anyone in the club's history and is its leading scorer in the top flight. Left, returned in 2024 and top-scored in the promotion season, which is about as complete a Levante career as exists. | Club record holder for appearances |
| Sergio Ballesteros | Defender and captain, two spells | Captained the side that finished sixth in 2011/12 and took Levante into European competition for the first time. The figure most closely associated with the finest period the club has had. | Sixth in La Liga and a first European campaign |
| Vicente Iborra | Midfielder, multiple spells | Made more than 200 appearances for the club across separate periods either side of a career that took in Sevilla, Leicester and a Conference League win with Olympiacos. Retired in 2025 having returned to where he started. | More than 200 appearances as a Granota |
| Keylor Navas | Goalkeeper, 2012 to 2014 | Emerged at Levante as one of the outstanding goalkeepers in La Liga during the 2013/14 season, and left for Real Madrid where he won three consecutive Champions League titles. The most successful player the club has developed for elsewhere. | Three Champions League titles after leaving |
| Jose Campana | Midfielder, 2016 to 2023 | More than 200 matches across seven seasons, running the midfield through the club's longest recent spell in the top flight and earning a Spain call-up in 2020 on the back of it. | A Spain call-up while at the club |
| Juanfran Garcia | Defender and captain | Captained the side and scored decisive goals in the 2010 promotion that began the club's best decade. A World Cup player in 2002 who finished his career at Levante and retired in 2016. | Central to the 2010 promotion |
Levante have never won a major national honour, and the one trophy they do claim is the subject of a century-old argument. The counts below have been cross-referenced against club publications and independent football records.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| Copa de la Espana Libre | 1, in 1937, beating Valencia 1-0 at Montjuic during the Civil War |
| Segunda Division B | 5, in 1978/79, 1988/89, 1994/95, 1995/96 and 1998/99 |
| Tercera Division | 7 |
| Regional championships | Campeonato de Valencia in 1927/28 and Campeonato Levante-Sur in 1934/35 |
| La Liga | Best finish sixth, in 2011/12 |
| UEFA Europa League | Round of 16 in 2012/13, the club's only European campaign |
The status of the 1937 Copa de la Espana Libre has been debated for decades, since it was contested in the Republican zone while the country was at war. Levante count it, and beating Valencia to win it has kept the argument alive in the city ever since.
Levante's rivalries are dominated by one fixture and one argument. Everything else on the calendar is a football match; the derby is about which club represents a city that has only ever had room in the national conversation for one of them.
The Derbi Valencia has been played 38 times competitively, and Valencia lead it 21 wins to eight. Levante are the older club by a decade and the smaller one by every other measure, which is the whole basis of the fixture: one side with a Champions League history and a 48,000-seat ground, the other with a stadium in Orriols and a trophy from a civil war that nobody agrees counts. The 1937 final between them, won 1-0 by Levante at Montjuic, is still cited on both sides of the argument.
The other Valencian Community club in the division, and a fixture that has grown in significance as the two have taken opposite paths. Villarreal have become a European regular while Levante have moved between divisions, which gives the meeting an edge rooted in resentment of the trajectory rather than in geography. Levante taking points here is treated as a statement about the region.
A third Valencian Community fixture, contested with a club of similar size that has followed a similar path between the top two divisions over the past fifteen years. The two have met repeatedly with promotion or survival at stake, which has given the fixture a competitive weight that its history alone would not support.
The only opponent to have ended a European campaign for this club. Rubin knocked Levante out of the 2012/13 Europa League at the round of 16, winning 2-0 after extra time and closing the only continental run in more than a century of history. For a club with one European campaign, the side that finished it occupies a particular place in the memory.
A connection through the club's own players rather than through a tie. Vicente Iborra, who made more than 200 appearances for Levante across separate spells, won the Conference League with Olympiacos before returning to Valencia to finish his career, and the Greek club has recruited from the Spanish market repeatedly. For supporters in Orriols it is a reminder of what their own players go on to win elsewhere.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Relegation from La Liga on 35 points from eight wins, eleven draws and nineteen defeats, scoring 51 and conceding 76. The defensive record was the worst in the division and the season involved multiple changes in the dugout. Jose Luis Morales led the scoring, and five consecutive seasons in the top flight came to an end. |
| 2022/23 | A first season back in Segunda spent rebuilding rather than challenging. The squad that had gone down was broken up and the club set about restructuring, which by the standards of recently relegated Spanish clubs was the sober choice even if it cost an immediate return. |
| 2023/24 | Sixth in Segunda on 59 points from thirteen wins, twenty draws and nine defeats across 42 matches, a return built on an unusual number of draws. Mohamed Bouldini top-scored with eight. Pablo Sanchez was dismissed in September and the season became one of consolidation rather than a promotion push. |
| 2024/25 | The season that delivered promotion. Levante took 79 points from 22 wins, thirteen draws and seven defeats across 42 matches, losing fewer than any of their rivals near the top, and Jose Luis Morales led the scoring with 12 having returned to the club. It was a third consecutive campaign in the second division and the last of them. |
| 2025/26 | Survival from the least promising position in the division. Julian Calero was dismissed on 30 November with Levante bottom after fourteen rounds, Alvaro del Moral took temporary charge and Luis Castro arrived on 20 December. The side recovered to finish sixteenth on 42 points, the same total as the club relegated in eighteenth. Carlos Espi top-scored with ten across all competitions. |
Castro works with a squad assembled on a modest budget and built around players the club developed or bought at low cost. Karl Etta Eyong, signed from Villarreal for a reported 3 million euros, has become the most valuable asset in the group, and Carlos Alvarez is the creative centre of the side. Mathew Ryan and Aissa Mandi bring senior international experience to a young dressing room with an average age around 24.
Rather than list valuations that vary widely between sources at this level, the column below sets out each player's role in the 2026/27 group, which is more use when you are deciding whether a fixture is worth travelling for. Squad numbers reflect the registrations at the start of the campaign.
| No. | Player | Position | Role in the 2026/27 Squad |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pablo Cunat | Goalkeeper | Academy-developed keeper competing for the first-choice role |
| 13 | Mathew Ryan | Goalkeeper | Australia international who arrived on a free transfer in 2025 |
| 2 | Aissa Mandi | Centre-back | Algeria international and the most experienced defender in the squad |
| 4 | Adrian de la Fuente | Defender | Squad option across the back line |
| 5 | Unai Elgezabal | Centre-back | Regular starter and organiser of the defence |
| 22 | Jeremy Toljan | Right-back | Signed on a free transfer from Sassuolo in 2025 |
| 23 | Manu Sanchez | Left-back | Established starter down the left |
| 29 | Nacho Perez | Defender | Academy product promoted into the senior group |
| 8 | Jon Olasagasti | Midfielder | Central midfielder covering ground in a side built to defend |
| 10 | Carlos Alvarez | Attacking midfielder | The creative centre of the team and one of its most valuable players |
| 16 | Kervin Arriaga | Midfielder | Honduras international providing physical presence in midfield |
| 17 | Victor Garcia | Midfielder | Wide midfielder used across both flanks |
| 18 | Enzo Bardeli | Midfielder | Central midfielder adding depth for a full La Liga season |
| 20 | Oriol Rey | Midfielder | Holding midfielder in front of the back four |
| 7 | Roger Brugue | Forward | Wide forward offering directness in transition |
| 9 | Ivan Romero | Forward | Centre-forward competing for the starting role |
| 21 | Karl Etta Eyong | Forward | Signed from Villarreal and now the most valuable player in the squad |
Several academy players from the club's youth structure train with the senior group, which at a club operating on this budget is a necessity rather than a policy.
No. The season pass decides who gets first access when seats are released, but it is not required to attend. Buying through a verified marketplace gives you access to seats released by pass holders without any subscription or Spanish address.
Levante, by a decade. The club was founded on 9 September 1909 and is the oldest in the city. It merged with Gimnastico FC in 1939 to form Levante Union Deportiva, which is where the Granota, or frog, nickname comes from.
The Gol Orriols, where the organised support gathers behind the goal with drums and flags. The ground is steep and enclosed, so the noise from that end carries across the whole stadium. For a covered seated view, the central Tribuna is the better choice.
The ground sits in the Orriols district in the north of the city and is served by the Valencia metro, with tram and bus routes covering the surrounding streets. The journey from the centre takes around twenty minutes.
Once. Sixth place in La Liga in 2011/12 earned a place in the 2012/13 Europa League, where Levante reached the round of 16 before losing 2-0 after extra time to Rubin Kazan. It remains the club's only continental campaign.
A club that was bottom of La Liga in December and safe in May, playing in a steep ground in a working district of a city that has never quite made room for it, is a more compelling afternoon than the league table suggests. 1BoxOffice has been a verified marketplace for live event tickets since 2006, with every order carrying a 150% money-back guarantee.
