What’s new on the site

Dynamic match reports now place sendings-off at the correct point in the story, show the half-time score by the final result, and narrate goals and red cards in actual minute order.

Match Center has been hardened for team identities such as Celta/Celta Vigo and presents verified suspensions and current injuries more clearly. Empty categories now keep an equivalent status card too.

The Ilicitano page now automatically summarises the latest match, league position, matches played, wins, draws and losses, the leading scorer or joint leaders, the player or players with the most minutes, and the next league match with venue and kick-off time when confirmed.

The current-season page now includes dynamic leaders, a live season summary and complete figures for appearances, starts, substitute appearances, minutes, goals, assists and cards. Players remain represented across the whole season even if they later leave the squad or step up from teams such as Ilicitano.

Answers about ticket release timing, late public sales and matchday purchases have been rewritten. The guide now also explains later seat releases, named tickets and refunds, rules for children, food and drink, and how the away section is handled.

The next league match on the homepage now includes a discreet “Everything before kick-off →” link, making it clear that the full match card opens form, standings, weather, statistics and the rest of the pre-match context.

Match Center can now show temperature, rain probability and wind for kick-off. The forecast is also woven into the dynamic match preview and adapts to the time of day, precipitation risk and high temperatures. If no reliable forecast is available, no weather information is shown.

The Swedish homepage introduction has been restored to the compact presentation used by the Scandinavian design without changing the page’s SEO metadata.

After played matches, official RFEF match data is automatically retrieved and verified. Match facts and player season statistics are rebuilt when verified starting XIs, goals, cards and substitutions have been published.

Player statistics now include appearances, starts, substitute appearances, minutes, goals, assists, yellow cards and red cards. Columns are sortable, and player cards show current-season facts for both official squad members and academy players used by Ilicitano.

Played Ilicitano matches can now be opened from the entire match card and show verified information such as the half-time score, goals, cards, starting XIs and substitutions when available.

Upcoming matches without a confirmed kick-off show the round's provisional weekend and a TBC time. When the RFEF confirms or reschedules a match, the date and time sync automatically and the change is recorded in Automatic updates.

The automatic log now shows the page or section that was actually updated instead of the generic Elche CF label. The video archive also checks LaLiga’s official YouTube feed directly for new match highlights. Match reports now use a fail-closed referee guard so assistant-referee and other role labels cannot be displayed as the main referee.

“Match summary” has been rebuilt across the full archive. Reports now use verified goals, cards and statistics to describe the game more accurately and naturally. Pre-season matches use a separate fail-closed summary path that does not invent half-time scores or goal sequences when the underlying timeline is incomplete.

A low-key secondary view under “What's new” now shows only automatic data changes that have actually been verified and published. Empty runs, heartbeats and failures are not logged.

Score parsing now uses only digits that are actually rendered in the official RFEF match view. Hidden technical pseudo-elements are ignored.

The green “HERE WE ARE” marker now follows the season's current position and sits between the latest completed round and the next match. Opening the matches page automatically moves the view to that point.

The Ilicitano section now uses official sources for a safer automated flow of squad, results, standings and statistics. The matches page also moves “Here we are” forward to the next current round once the previous match has been played.

The feature on Elche CF's links with Sweden, Norway and Denmark now includes richer player profiles, academy stories, coaches and sporting staff, Swedish–Elche exchanges, freely reusable historic imagery and a more complete account of Scandinavia's place in the club's history.

The 2011 Copa del Sol story now also appears on the stadium page, highlighting matches at Estadio Martínez Valero involving clubs including IFK Göteborg, Tromsø, Molde, Rosenborg and FC Nordsjælland.

The homepage now uses the same premium Sweden–Norway–Denmark artwork as the Scandinavian history feature, giving the route into the story a stronger and more cohesive identity.

The next match on the home page now opens directly in Match Center as an overlay. Close it with × and you stay on the home page.

Match Center now includes a dynamic pre-match summary covering league position, form, head-to-head record and verified squad availability. The wording adapts to current form, streaks, injuries, doubts and suspensions.

A new dedicated page brings together the 2026/27 LaLiga fixture list, matches and rounds in one overview. It is available directly from the new featured entry in the main menu.

Alongside the major additions, around 30 smaller improvements have been made across the site, including navigation, language support, presentation, content, links and various detail views.

Elche’s points are now shown, for example, as “1 of 6 possible points (17%)”, making current performance easier to understand at a glance.

The 2026/27 archive keeps separate sections for LaLiga, Copa del Rey and pre-season, along with the pre-season summary of matches, wins, goal difference and top scorer. Played matches are shown as compact clickable rows without dimming; goals, line-ups, substitutions, cards and statistics appear when the match report is opened.

The top cards for appearances, goals, assists and yellow cards now show all shared maximum values, for example “Ali Houary + 12 more” and “13 players with 2 appearances”, instead of presenting a single player as if they held the lead alone.

Player statistics now link different name variants to a stable identity, so starts and substitute appearances are counted for the correct player even when sources use different names.

After every match, Video Hub automatically searches for the official Elche video. If it has not yet been published, it retries every 30 minutes and adds it as soon as it appears.

After every match, the report, goal sequence, starting line-ups and statistics are verified before the archive and statistical data are updated. If the information is not yet complete, the system automatically tries again.

The next match can be opened in a Match Center with standings, form, recent matches, head-to-head data and available information about absences and suspensions.

The website now has its own archive of official match videos and a single access point for Elche audiovisual content.

The 2026/27 squad is now retrieved from LaLiga and can display shirt number, position, date of birth, height, weight and nationality. Nationalities are summarised automatically and changes are saved in a local season archive so old squads can be reconstructed even if external sources change.

Pre-season, LaLiga and future Copa del Rey matches can coexist in one timeline. When the page opens, “We are here” still brings focus to the next match, while previous matches remain above.

Previous results and the 2026/27 pre-season are now gathered in a separate archive. New official results are added automatically when LaLiga publishes them.

The complete 2025/26 squad can now be sorted by shirt number, position, minutes, appearances, starts, goals, assists and yellow or red cards. On desktop, simply click the headers; on mobile there is a compact selector.

Last season now has its own visual presentation with standings, home and away performance, goalscorers, assists, shot efficiency, passing, duels, goalkeepers, discipline and player summary.

The standings now refresh at much shorter intervals and clearly explain that results from matches in progress can affect positions and points before full time.

The statistics page brings together Elche appearances, goals, assists and yellow and red cards and evolves throughout the season.

The colour legend now says Champions League place, Europa League place, Conference League place and Relegation place to better explain what each position means.
