The team, coached this campaign by David Cabello, are starting their participation in División de Honor Juvenil Group IV. The Malaguistas will start the defence of their title – they were group champions last season – against Marbella-based rival, UCD La Cañada Atlético. The match is taking place on Sunday, at 19:00, at the Federación Malagueña de Fútbol.

The Blue and Whites won the last League championship, which gave them a pass to national competition, Copa de Campeones. They gave an extraordinary performance in Galicia, earning a more than deserved second place. After defeating FC Barcelona and RC Celta de Vigo, the Malaguistas suffered a minimal defeat in stoppage time of the grand final against Real Madrid CF.

Málaga CF’s Juvenil boys are bursting with enthusiasm and freshness, with their players (17-18 years), aspiring to demonstrate the good health of the Blue and Whites’ youth ranks. “At a competitive level, we need to try and revalidate our title from last season, and reach the Copa de Campeones for the fourth consecutive year. At a formative level, like always, we will be aiming to develop players who could be ready for Malagueño and even the first team, within 2-3 years”, comments coach, David Cabello to the Club media.

Good luck, champions!
