With the support of the Málaga Provincial Council, main sponsor of Málaga CF, the Málaga Former Players' Association team travelled to Baena for three reasons.
Firstly, to take part in the 50th anniversary celebrations of UD San Francisco CF, which was marking half a century since its foundation. The local Town Council also paid tribute to Antonio Tapia in recognition of his career. The Fuengirola resident, who was born in Baena, received a warm welcome from his fellow townspeople and was honoured during the friendly match between UD San Francisco and Málaga CF Forever.
The entertaining encounter finished 6-3 in favour of the Blue and Whites. Antonio Luis (3), Gonzalo de los Santos, Santi and Armando were on target for the team managed by Manolo Hernández Navarrete.
The funds raised will be donated to the Spanish Association Against Cancer. The post-match get-together, characterised by the great camaraderie among everyone involved and the warm hospitality they received, rounded off an unforgettable Saturday for our veterans in Baena.
