The club's history shows that immediate promotion is not the norm. Out of the thirteen times Girona FC has lost its category, it has only managed to return the following season on two occasions. These figures highlight the difficulty of the competition and the need for caution regarding immediate future goals.

General statistics in the second division also corroborate this trend. Over the last decade, only one in three teams relegated from Primera División has achieved promotion at the first attempt. This context adds pressure to a sporting plan that still needs to define key aspects such as the coaching staff, salary cap, and the final squad composition.

Recent precedents, such as the 2019 relegation, serve as a reminder that even with high-cost squads, the path to promotion can be arduous. On that occasion, the club had to wait until the third season to return to the elite, overcoming promotion playoffs against teams like Eibar and Tenerife.
