Benidorm Keep Promotion Dream Alive Ahead of Decisive Final Showdown

 

Benidorm / 27 April 2026

 

Football fans in Benidorm are gearing up for a dramatic season finale after CF Benidorm kept their promotion hopes alive with a crucial 3–1 victory over CFI Alicante.

 

The result sets up a high-stakes final matchday that will determine whether the Costa Blanca side can secure promotion, with everything now resting on their final fixture against UD Calpe.

 

Vital Win Under Pressure

In a match filled with tension both on and off the pitch, Benidorm showed resilience to overcome a challenging first half, which ended level at 1–1.

 

The game was briefly halted following a medical emergency involving a supporter in the stands. Emergency services responded quickly, and after the situation was brought under control, play resumed.

 

With pressure mounting—particularly after news filtered through that rivals CD Eldense B had taken a commanding lead in their own fixture—Benidorm knew only a win would keep their promotion ambitions in their own hands.

 

Second-Half Response Keeps Hopes Alive

After the interval, the home side stepped up their performance significantly, showing greater attacking intent and composure in front of goal.

 

A strong second-half display saw Benidorm take control of the match and secure a deserved 3–1 victory, ensuring the promotion race will go down to the wire.

 

Manager Javier Vidales’s side demonstrated both character and determination at a critical stage of the season.

 

All to Play For on Final Matchday

The decisive clash will take place at the Guillermo Amor Stadium, where Benidorm will host UD Calpe in what is effectively a promotion final.

 

At the same time, attention will also turn to the Pepico Amat Stadium, where Eldense B face CD Olímpic.

 

Promotion Permutations

For Benidorm, the equation is clear:

• They must win their final match
• They need Eldense B to drop points
• A draw for Eldense B could still be enough to deny Benidorm, even if they win
• City Awaits a Big Night

 

With promotion within reach, anticipation is building across Benidorm, with fans expected to pack the stadium for what promises to be a decisive and emotional finale.

 

The match is shaping up to be one of the most important in the club’s recent history, as Benidorm aim to complete a remarkable late push for promotion.
