Getafe started their Conference League campaign with a 1-1 draw at home against Universitatea Craiova, but the most notable result was the presence of 400 Azulones fans in the Romanian capital. Attendance was achieved thanks to a club initiative that, according to media reports, will allow fans of the Madrid team to attend upcoming matches in Europe at a reduced cost.
The proposal consists of Getafe granting tickets for away games to fans who are willing to cover the trip. Thus, the 400 fans who traveled to Romania had the help of the club to obtain their tickets, which allowed them to support the team in a foreign environment. The club has declared that the measure will be repeated in future matches, including the matches against Ajax and Iberia 1999, ensuring that the fans can continue accompanying the team throughout the competition.
The gesture has been well received by the Getafe base, who are enthusiastic about the opportunity to participate in a competition where Spanish teams usually perform strongly. The club has highlighted the importance of bringing fans closer to the players and strengthening the bond between the club and its fans. The initiative is perceived as a way to modernize the relationship between the team and its fans, especially in a context where fan support is crucial for performance in European competitions.
Getafe, who face high-level teams in the Conference League, are looking to consolidate their position and follow the tradition of the Spanish clubs that have left their mark in the competition. Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis were finalists in previous editions, which demonstrates the competitiveness of the Spanish teams in this tournament. With the help of the club, Getafe fans will be able to continue cheering on their team in upcoming matches and contribute to the team's success in the Conference League.
