AD Ceuta, a football club from the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta on the African continent, is making headlines as it stands just one step away from reaching Spain's top football division. The club has experienced a dramatic rise, climbing from the semi-professional fourth tier to the second division in just five years, thanks to strong public funding and dedicated management. Ceuta's unique position at the crossroads of Africa and Europe is reflected in the club's multicultural fanbase, where Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Hindus come together in support of their team.

The club's success is seen as a source of pride and unity for a city often in the news for migration challenges and economic disparities. Under the leadership of president Luhay Hamido, AD Ceuta has become a symbol of coexistence and hope, drawing support from across the community. Despite logistical challenges and limited resources, the team has defied expectations, with the dream of reaching the top division inspiring both players and fans. For now, their main goal remains to secure their place in the second division, but the possibility of welcoming Spain's biggest clubs to Ceuta has captured the city's imagination.
