Reaching the highest levels of football is a sensory challenge, and Girona’s composure at this level is already being put to the test.
When Girona was in the third division of Spain in the late 1980s, Ivan Quiros, a co-founder of the official Girona fan club Penya Jandrista GFC, went to games at the Estadi Montilivi for the first time. He described qualifying to play the best in Europe as “an unattainable and impossible dream, made real” to Sport.
Since the 2017 investment by City Football Group (CFG), a division of Abu Dhabi United Group, which owns shares in 13 clubs on five continents, including the ownership of the team, it has been a dream come true for seven years.
