UD Las Palmas' youth academy in crisis

UD Las Palmas ends 2025 with a pending task in promoting its youth academy, with only four testimonial debuts in the year.

What happened to the youth academy?

The shared responsibility of Diego Martínez and Luis García has led to a sudden stop in the projection of young talents.

The sacred mandate to empower the own youth academy has suffered a stop, leaving in the past year several debuts that have not gone beyond being testimonial.

What's going on with the youth academy?

Not even the relegation to Segunda has changed the trend of the last months in which no one from the affiliates has been able to break through.

Only four names appear on this list and with the common denominator of fading away irreparably. Thus, Diego Martín, Arturo, and Josito had their baptism in May and in the First Division, although with the fate of UD already sealed.

What's next?

UD Las Palmas is currently in 5th place in the Segunda División, with 73 points and a record of 20 wins, 13 draws, and 9 losses in 42 games, with a recent form of DLWDW. The goal difference is +17, with 57 goals scored and 40 conceded. UD is 9 points behind the leaders, Racing Santander.
