The Abdallah Ben Barek Stadium hosted a great celebration of Málaga CF’s youth setup, with all the men’s and women’s teams taking centre stage at their official presentation.
The Ciudad Deportiva Fundación MCF hosted the presentation of all Málaga CF’s youth teams for the 2026/27 season on Wednesday, in an event that brought together players, coaching staff, families and a large representation of the Club.
From Atlético Malagueño down to the pre-benjamín age group, the men’s and women’s teams from the MCF Academy, including the juvenil team, took to the pitch to pose for their traditional official team photograph, with the stands of the Abdallah Ben Barek Stadium providing the backdrop.
The event turned into a true Blue and White celebration thanks to Basti, who acted as presenter and master of ceremonies. Malaguista mascot ‘Súper Boke’ also took part, adding a fun and friendly touch to a very special afternoon.
The event was attended by a large Club delegation, led by judicial administrator José María Muñoz, general manager Kike Pérez and sporting director Loren Juarros. Juarros delivered a heartfelt speech highlighting the work, commitment and values that come with being part of Málaga CF from the youth ranks. “Thank you all for your trust. You are the ultimate representatives of football in Málaga, and you have the privilege of being chosen to represent Málaga CF. A new season begins, with renewed excitement and challenges to achieve,” he said.
Also in attendance were Club ambassador Jesús Gámez and legendary Málaga figure Ben Barek, both closely linked to the Academy, the Club’s history and its identity. They were joined by Juanfran Funes and members of his coaching staff, as well as Academy graduates such as captain Ramón, Ángel Recio and Carlos López.
One by one, all the teams took to the pitch at the Abdallah Ben Barek Stadium for their official team photograph, while parents and family members watched on from the stands, showing their support for the young players throughout the event.
The presentation brought together the entire Málaga CF youth football structure, symbolising in a single image both the present and the future of the Club. An Academy full of excitement, hard work and the sense of belonging that defines the MCF Academy.
