Welcoming new arrivals
It is tradition at Spanish clubs for rookies who have just arrived to perform a song for the rest of the squad as part of their initiation and this has been happening across the country during pre-season.
At Levante UD, for example, new signing Jorge De Frutos sang a song by rock duo Estopa, while Takefusa Kubo entertained his new Villarreal CF teammates by singing the theme song from Doraemon.

Unique season ticket campaigns
Spanish clubs have become famous for their creative marketing campaigns for selling season tickets, but this summer's campaigns have been quite different given everything that has happened with the COVID-19 pandemic.
With fans unable to go to the stadiums since March, it is a very different situation to usual, but the creativity is as present as ever. There have been some eye-catching and emotional campaigns so far, such as the one from newly promoted Cadiz CF.

Goodbye to a legendary fan
Jesus Arrizabalaga, a legendary Athletic Club fan, passed away this past week at the age of 89. He was well-known around Bilbao and stood out for his special headwear, which is why he was known as ‘El De La Txapela', or ‘The One With The Hat' in English.
Following the news of his death, Athletic Club paid tribute to him on social media.
