The UD Fraga reserve team will take the place created by the non-continuity of CD Sariñena and will share the category with Mequinenza and Peña Fragatina
The Fraga B saga is over . The Fraga reserve team will finally play in the Primera Regional next season after their relegation to the Segunda Regional was overturned. José Miguel Martínez, the club's president, confirmed to this publication that the team will remain in the division, where Mequinenza and Peña Fragatín will also compete as representatives of the Bajo/Baix Cinca region.
The change in circumstances comes after the situation created by CD Sariñena . The club from the Monegros region, despite initially registering within the regulatory deadlines for the Primera Regional division, subsequently announced its dissolution, which opened a vacancy in the category. That place will be filled by Fraga Fútbol Base , according to the federation's resolution released in recent hours.
The decision marks a definitive turning point in a case that had become complicated over the summer. Fraga B had secured their place in the league on the field by finishing outside the regular relegation places, but the impact of relegations from higher divisions initially resulted in them being relegated to the Second Regional Division.
A summer of appeals, waiting, and final resolution
The Fraga club appealed that decision, arguing that the team had secured its place in the league through sporting merit . In their appeal, they requested that the relegation be overturned and proposed competing in Group 4 of the Regional First Division as an alternative. The request was rejected, seemingly closing the door on the reserve team's continued participation in the category.
However, the vacancy created by CD Sariñena has ultimately changed the situation. With the circumstances that led to their relegation to the Second Regional Division now gone, Fraga Fútbol Base has regained its right to compete in the First Regional Division.
Thus, the Bajo/Baix Cinca region will have three teams in the category: Fraga B, Mequinenza, and Peña Fragatina . While the dates are yet to be confirmed, the upcoming season will guarantee several weekends of the traditional local derbies.
