The Malaguista family continues to have one of their strongest bases in the province in the Axarquía region. This afternoon, Málaga CF paid an official visit to the Peña Malaguista de Vélez-Málaga at its headquarters on Calle Las Tiendas.

The Club delegation was led by Blue and White first team players Rafita, an honorary member of the Vélez-Málaga supporters’ club, and Jens Cajuste. Also in attendance were Francisco Martín Aguilar, the Club’s Protocol and Institutional Relations Adviser, and Antonio López, Advisory Board Member.

It was a day of celebration and togetherness for Málaga fans in Vélez-Málaga, with a large number turning out despite the rain. They were joined by the supporters’ club vice-president, Guillermo Martín, who acted as host, as well as representatives of the Federación de Peñas Malaguistas, led by president Miguel Molina, and the town’s mayor, Jesús María Claros.

Vélez-Málaga, the birthplace of several outstanding footballers who have left their mark on Málaga CF’s history, maintains a close bond with the Club. That connection continues to be represented today by Rafita, who received numerous messages of affection from fellow locals wishing him a speedy recovery from injury. Events such as this provide an opportunity to keep that sense of belonging and pride in the blue and white colours alive for generations to come.

The headquarters of the Peña Malaguista de Vélez-Málaga, which currently has 215 members, is an open house for all fans in the area who share a passion for the badge, a commitment to the team and the pride of being Malaguistas.

Thank you for your passion and Malaguismo, Vélez-Málaga!
