Málaga Genuine have capped off another unforgettable season. And they did it the way they know best: with joy, teamwork, and sportsmanship. This past weekend, at the Lezama facilities of Athletic Club Bilbao, the fourth and final phase of LaLiga Genuine came to an end, a competition that has once again shown that football can be a space for inclusion, respect, and personal growth.
As a grand finale to this historic season, a very special afternoon was experienced yesterday at La Rosaleda Stadium, where the champions of the 'Fair Play' award in the Compañerismo Group shared a day full of smiles, emotion, and gratitude.
During the event, the ‘Genuine’ players took part in a lively 45-minute match alongside the sponsors of the MCF Foundation’s school, divided into several teams. The day concluded with a fun and joyful penalty shootout, accompanied by the applause of the families who, from the stands, put their heart into every cheer.
To close the event, each player received a commemorative photo and a small trophy as a memento of a season that will be remembered for winning the ‘Fair Play’ title in LaLiga Genuine 24/25. This success comes after many years of hard work to become the best and most sportsmanlike team in a magical competition where competing means sharing. The 400 points earned throughout the season, out of 400 possible, highlight a team that embodies the most genuine values of Málaga Club de Fútbol.
The event’s entertainment was provided by the ever-charismatic Sebastián Fernández Reyes ‘Basti,’ the heart of the MCF Foundation’s Social Department. It was also attended by the Club’s general manager, Kike Pérez, as well as the Foundation’s sponsors: Mercedes García Paine, president of the Nena Paine Association, and Paco Ráez, father of the unforgettable Pablo Ráez.
The Málaga CF Foundation, in gratitude to all the sponsors who have supported the team throughout this season, organised this event to keep alive a project that allows our players and their families to experience unique moments that strengthen our Blue and White values.
Among the sponsors present, special mention goes to Clínicas Rincón Dental, Fundación La Caixa, Sanamar Alimentación, Ayuntamiento de Málaga, Ayuntamiento de Frigiliana, La Canasta, MayorPrint and PROAMB. Thank you for your support, which has been fundamental on this journey. More than sponsors, friends.
Vamos, Málaga Genuine!
