FC Andorra open their campaign on Saturday, hosting AD Ceuta at the Estadi de la FAF in Encamp. While both sides meet on matchday 1 of the new season, they met twice during the 2025/26 campaign. Ceuta holds the head-to-head advantage, sweeping both fixtures last season, a 2-1 win at home in January and a 2-0 away win in Andorra in May. Andorra struggled to maintain consistency in 2025/26 season. Their home loss to Ceuta in May highlighted structural issues in defense, where early an early red card and defensive errors left them with nothing. They ended the year outside the top promotion spots. Ceuta overperformed expectations relative to their budget, proving to be one of the most tactical and organized away sides in the division. Their late-season form saw them grab key away victories, including the 2-0 win in Andorra to finish solidly in the top half of the table. The marquee signing for Andorra is Pau Lopez. Bringing vast top-flight experience from LaLiga and abroad, the 31-year-old goalkeeper gives Andorra a commanding presence between the posts to organize their defense. On the other hand, Ceuta reshaped their attack by bringing in Moroccan prospect Omar Sadik alongside Jordi Escobar to replace departing loanees and maintain their attacking power.
