Deportivo Cuenca held its official presentation for the 2026 season this Sunday, introducing a new format by renaming the event from 'Noche Colorada' to 'Mañana Colorada' and hosting it in the morning. This change marks a departure from tradition and reflects the club's desire to engage its fanbase in a fresh and dynamic way. The event took place at the Alejandro Serrano Aguilar stadium, where a significant turnout of red-and-black fans gathered early to support their team as it embarks on a new campaign under the management of Jorge Célico.

The program began at 10:00 AM with the official introduction of the 2026 squad, where each player was announced individually to an enthusiastic audience, who responded with applause and chanting. This warm reception showcases the strong connection between the players and the loyal Cuenca supporters. The emphasis on community and fan involvement highlights the deeper cultural significance of football in the region, especially as the team prepares to face the challenges of the new season.

In addition to the roster presentation, the day featured a friendly match against Guayaquil City, serving as the team's first footballing trial of the year. This game not only offers a glimpse into the squad's readiness for the competitive season ahead but also allows fans to witness their team's performance in a live setting. The outcome against Guayaquil City is a positive sign as Deportivo Cuenca looks to improve upon its previous season effectively.
