AD Fafe 1–0 CD Tondela | International Club Friendly
July 8, 2026

AD Fafe kicked off their pre-season preparations with a narrow but encouraging 1–0 victory over Liga Portugal 2 side CD Tondela at their home ground. The match, played on July 8, 2026, was part of a series of International Club Friendlies designed to build match fitness ahead of the new campaign.

The only goal of the contest came in the first half, as Fafe's attacking line capitalized on a defensive lapse by Tondela. While neither side created a flurry of chances, the home side showed greater urgency in the final third. The clean sheet will also please the Fafe coaching staff, as they look to solidify their backline before the start of the competitive season.

For CD Tondela, the friendly served as an opportunity to test squad depth and give minutes to new signings. Despite the defeat, the visitors enjoyed spells of possession and pressed high at times, but lacked the cutting edge needed to break down a determined Fafe defense. The result gives Tondela clear areas to work on in upcoming friendlies.
