Córdoba Club de Fútbol will join this weekend in the tribute that Spanish football will pay to Jesús de Miguel, a CD Tenerife player who recently passed away, during the match against AD Ceuta at the Bahrain Victorious Nuevo Arcángel.
Following the protocol established by LALIGA and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), the players will enter the field in complete silence, without musical accompaniment and without the usual a cappella rendition of Córdoba CF's anthem by the fans, as a sign of respect and remembrance for the player.
The starting players of both teams will take to the pitch intermingled, wearing a special shirt with the number 9 and the slogan "Always in our memory." Together with the referee team, they will form a semicircle embracing each other, and a floral offering will be placed in memory of Jesús de Miguel. Subsequently, a minute of silence will be observed, during which the video scoreboards will display his image, followed by applause from players and fans.
The tribute will continue during the match. At the first stoppage of play after the 9th minute, in reference to the number worn by the player, a pause will be held during which a video in his memory will be shown, and the players will dedicate applause to him before resuming the game.
Córdoba CF reiterates its sincerest condolences to the family and loved ones of Jesús de Miguel, to his teammates, and to the entire CD Tenerife family, and thanks the Córdoba fans in advance for their respect and collaboration during this emotional tribute.
