Ceuta president: "I know the squad, some must give much more and they've been warned"

AD Ceuta president Luhay Hamido praised players for not requesting contract exits despite the city's migration crisis and the team's poor league form.

AD Ceuta president Luhay Hamido issued a statement Wednesday thanking the squad for their commitment amid difficult circumstances. The club has been hit by a humanitarian crisis in the city following the arrival of over 80,000 migrants at the border in late July, compounded by an incomplete preseason and ten significant player absences.

Despite these challenges, Hamido said no player has requested a contract termination or abandoned the project. The team suffered a third consecutive defeat in Segunda Division on Sunday, losing 3-1 to Cádiz, leaving them with just five points in the relegation zone.

Hamido backed manager José Juan Romero, saying he will only make drastic decisions if trust breaks down between the coach and players. He called for unity among supporters and the club, insisting the team will overcome this period through hard work and togetherness.
