With these new adhesions, there are now almost thirty sports entities from the Balearic Islands that have joined the project.

The new affiliated clubs are UD Ibiza, CE Mercadal, CE Ciutadella, Club Bàsquet Sineu, Club Bàsquet Santa Maria, CF Manacor, CF Pollença, CE Vilafranca, Sant Joan CE de Fútbol Sala, CE Artà, CE Escolar, Bunyola CF, and UD de Alaró.

This new addition reinforces the commitment of the island's sports fabric to linguistic normalization and to the promotion of Catalan as a language of social cohesion also within the sports sphere. The affiliated clubs share a strong rooting in their municipalities and actively participate in the social and cultural life of their communities.The new entities that have joined Correllengua Agermanat 2026 thus join the fifteen Majorcan clubs that had already previously announced their affiliation, among which are RCD Mallorca, Atlètic Balears, UD Poblense, and CE Constància.Correllengua Agermanado 2026 will be celebrated from April 19 to May 5, 2026, and will cover more than 1,500 kilometers, passing through about 500 municipalities and stopping in eighty towns.

Registration for the relay race stages, which will cover more than 1,500 kilometers across all Catalan-speaking territories between April 19 and May 5, 2026, is now open.

Interested individuals could already register easily through the form available on the official website. Participation is free and open to everyone, with sections specifically designed for children and families.

To register, participants had to access the official website and fill out the form with their first and last names, as well as a contact phone number or email address. Through this channel, the organization would confirm in the following days if the registration had been processed correctly. The sections, one kilometer long, could be run both individually and collectively, although there always had to be the same person responsible for carrying the flame throughout the assigned route.

The organization has called for maximum participation, encouraging entities, schools, associations, and individuals to join this cultural and sports initiative that aims to highlight the vitality and unity of the Catalan language.
