Málaga CF taking part in LaLiga Genuine Santander Virtual Competition

The competition will take place on 17th and 18th April. Carlos García and Busta will be in the Genuine Talent final.

Back in March 2020 the pandemic deprived us of such a wonderful competition. LaLiga Genuine Santander had to come to a halt, which has been the case for over a year. However, don’t worry, it’s back in the form of a Virtual Competition! The event is taking place on 17th and 18th April, bringing together the 36 teams on the same platform, that fans can watch and enjoy.

The inauguration will take place tomorrow, Saturday 17th April at 11:00 with LaLiga president Javier Tebas, and Rami Aboukhair, CEO of Santander Spain. Actor and comedian Raúl Gómez will then be in charge of offering a motivational message to all those present.

Then, the icing on the cake: the final of the 1st Edition of Genuine Talent. The 10 finalists will receive the verdict from a very special judging panel. This is made up of Fernando Sanz, former player and president of Málaga CF and current president of the FUNDACIÓN LaLiga; Felipe Martín, director of sponsorships, events and social media at Santander Spain; Miguel Justribó, head of Communication and CSR at Telepizza; actor and presenter Santi MillánJesús Vidal, ‘Campeones’ actor and Goya winner; and Gema Hassen-Bey,
Paralympic medallist and speaker. The art and confidence of Carlos García and Busta, together with the support from the Blue and White fans, allowed them to deservedly qualify. Malaguismo is proud of you, you are our champions!

A series of challenges and online games amongst the participants will take place in the afternoon, which will all be scored. Subsequently, music therapist Santi Serratosa will host an exciting Body Percussion activity.

On Sunday 18th April, rhythm and energy will be the order of the day, thanks to Aritz Aduriz and Aintzane Encinas, great stars in the world of football and LaLiga Ambassadors. They will host a virtual training session to promote the practice of sports among the players. La Pegatina and Motxila 21 will then provide a musical touch to proceedings.

The event will come to a close at 12:30 when the winning team of the mini-games and 1st Edition of the Genuine Talent competition will be announced. The virtual prize-giving will then be held for the winners by Javier Tebas and Felipe Martín.
