CD Thader has had a busy August, with multiple pre-season friendlies and an emotional tribute. On the 7th, they defeated Benferri CF 5-1 at Moi Gomez stadium, with many new signings performing well. Three days later, they won 2-0 against Real Murcia 'C', scoring through Serhiy and Pablo Torres. Thader participated in a tri-team tournament at CD Montesinos, drawing 0-0 against Crevillente and losing 1-2 against the hosts, preventing them from obtaining a trophy.
Sergio Martinez, who scored 2 goals for Thader two seasons ago, returned to the team. Two games in two days resulted in two defeats, as they lost 3-4 to Kelme DH at home and 2-0 to Jacarilla CF away. On the morning of Sunday 23 August, a memorial for Cristian Botella was held at Moi Gomez stadium, where family and friends showed support after Cristian's death in a motor accident in Vietnam.
The CD Thader v Amigos de Bote fixture was attended by Cristian's wife and young daughter before the match. Thader lost 1-3 in a penalty shoot-out. The following Wednesday, Benijofar hosted Thader at a new venue after Moi Gomez's pitch was damaged. Jose Antonio Gill faced off against Raul Mora, resulting in a 2-1 victory for Thader.
