About

Club Deportivo Tenerife, S.A.D., based in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, currently plays in the Segunda División and is offered in signed shirt form through specialist retailers such as Walkouts. The side was founded on 1 January 1922, and the club’s traditional home colours, history of top-flight promotion and island identity make its shirts a persistent focus for collectors.

Tenerife rose to national prominence with a decade in La Liga from 1989 to 1999, twice finishing as high as fifth which led to UEFA Cup qualification. Those seasons remain a defining era in the club’s modern history, underpinning demand for shirts tied to promotion campaigns, squad banners and European appearances.

The club plays home fixtures at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López, a stadium known locally for its atmosphere and a seating capacity listed at 22,824. Match provenance that cites this ground, the Canary Islands derby and named opponents carries added interest for buyers seeking provenance linked to that venue.

On the collector calendar, anniversary releases have particular pull. The club’s centenary was marked in Centenary 2022, and commemorative shirts and limited runs from that milestone are sought after because they commemorate one hundred years of local identity and continuity, often released with unique badges or embroidered marks.

Specific seasons and fixtures drive magnetism for shirts. The club’s return to La Liga in the late 1980s and the later top‑flight appearance in the 2009-10 season are commonly cited by collectors, while shirts associated with promotion campaigns are chased because they represent decisive moments and European qualification pathways rather than routine league campaigns.

Away shirts that invert the white and blue home palette have become collector touchstones, in particular a classic navy away shirt style tied by sellers to decisive continental qualifying ties and memorable away results. Fanshop and retail-issued shirts are actively collected as well as match-worn items; early runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases are frequently listed, and many signed pieces are offered with provenance such as COA. Free worldwide shipping.

For those tracking provenance, look for shirts linked to the 1989-90 promotion era and the 2009-10 La Liga campaign, plus items connected to the Canary Islands derby and notable UEFA Cup ties; these seasons and matches remain the most referenced when verifying signatures or photographic proof, and Walkouts lists framed and signed retail shirts from these periods for inspection and purchase.

Honours

CD Tenerife's competitive record is defined by resilience and milestone runs across Spain's league system. The club has earned 4 promotions to the top division, building toward a sustained presence in La Liga throughout the 1990s. That period produced two fifth-place league finishes, a benchmark that opened the door to the UEFA Cup and brought continental nights to the island. Beyond those peaks, Tenerife have remained a consistent force in the professional tiers, currently competing in the Segunda Division. The most recent La Liga appearance came in 2009-10, underscoring the club's capacity to return to the elite. While major national cups are not the centrepiece of the trophy cabinet in the available record, the club's promotions, high finishes and European qualifications have forged a reputation grounded in progression and durability. Set against the backdrop of the Canary Islands derby with Las Palmas, these achievements carry added significance for supporters across Santa Cruz de Tenerife and beyond.
