Samu Castillejo and the ‘cadete’ team of Atlético Málaga will be recognised by the Málaga Association of Sports Press at the annual prize giving gala, taking place on 6th July at 9 p.m., at the provincial government’s auditorium.
In the statement, the AMPD highlighted that Samu Castillejo was a finalist for the BBVA League’s best newcomer award a few weeks ago, who coordinate the Spanish Association of Sports Press, along with the State Lottery. For their part, the ‘cadetes’ from Atlético Málaga are considered “an example of equality, and have undergone the entire season against male teams, under the current rules of the Andalucían Football Federation.”
The Málaga Association of Sports Press will also recognise the work of shot putter, Borja Vivas; Damián Quintero for karate; UMA Antequera for indoor football; and the women’s swimming team from Real Club Mediterráneo.
