Eibar's youth academy teams experienced a weekend of mixed results on March 21-22, 2026. According to the report from www.sdeibar.com, the outcomes ranged from defeats in higher categories to important wins in the younger age groups.
The Eibar first team, currently 14th in the Segunda División with 3 points from two games, did not play that weekend. Their next fixture is away against FC Andorra on August 30th. This context contrasts with a busy schedule for the club's academy sides.
How did Eibar B fare in Segunda RFEF?
The reserve team suffered an unexpected 0-1 defeat to Beasain at the Areitio ground. Despite fielding players like Ayala, Anartz, Xavi, and Oier, and controlling possession and creating chances, the team failed to score. This result was particularly damaging against a direct relegation rival. A lack of finishing precision cost them dearly.
What happened with Eibar C and the youth teams?
The negative trend continued in Tercera RFEF, where Eibar C lost 3-1 to Alaves C at Ibaia. Oinatz scored the lone goal for the side featuring Marc, Nores, and Alex, but the defeat keeps them perilously close to the drop zone. In the División Honor Juvenil, Eibar lost 4-1 to San Juan in Pamplona. Monreal had put the team ahead at halftime, but a disastrous second half with four conceded goals turned the game around. In the Juvenil Nacional, the team lost 1-0 to Zarautz, extending a streak to three matchdays without points or goals. You can check the data for all teams on our stats page.
Which youth teams secured victories?
Positive news came from the Cadete and Infantil categories. The Cadete Vasca team, managed by Ibon Hernando, secured a convincing 0-4 away win against Cultural Durango. Díaz scored twice, with Peláez and Matilla adding the other goals in a match defined by defensive solidity and attacking accuracy. At home, the Cadete Honor team beat Real Union 3-2 in a back-and-forth encounter, with goals from Basauri, Hodei, and Cheicke.
The Infantil Honor team, which tops its table, grabbed a last-gasp 0-1 away win against Arrupe thanks to a stoppage-time goal from Pujana. Endika Garagarza's side even missed a penalty in the second half before clinching the victory. Meanwhile, the Infantil Txiki team put on a show at home, thrashing Tolosa 6-0 with goals from Larra, Hita, Paul, Irai, Abdou, and Barrene. The Alevin Perfeccionamiento team had a rest weekend.
What is the situation of the women's team?
In the Segunda RFEF Femenina, Eibar earned a valuable point with a 1-1 draw away to Atletico Villalonga. Karol was the scorer for the Armeras in the 54th minute, securing the draw. This result aids the team's momentum in their competition.
What does this mean for Eibar's academy?
The weekend produced a mixed bag that highlights the typical ups and downs of developing young footballers. While the first team prepares for its next match in the league, the defeats in categories like RFEF and Juvenil Nacional demand analysis. Conversely, the wins in Cadete and Infantil, especially from the table-topping Infantil Honor side, point to a promising future. The continuity of this work at the academy level is key to the club's long-term project, which aims to strengthen its first-team squad with homegrown talent.
