Tebas was unequivocal about the difficulties facing the two clubs after they dropped out of professional football, but he stressed that Aragon deserves to see its teams avoid such a situation. "Hopefully they will return as soon as possible because it is something I do not like," he said.

"The level of football and passion in this region is very high across all three provinces, but especially in Zaragoza and Huesca, and they deserve teams in professional football. Hopefully they will regain their status as soon as possible," he added, stressing the importance for both provinces of having their clubs in the top two tiers of Spanish football.
