Historical curiosities
- In 1954, CD San Álvaro changed their name to the current Córdoba CF. Under this new name, the first coach was Arcadio Martínez, who came from Atlético Malagueño (now Málaga CF), the reserve team of CD Málaga at the time.
- Javi Gracia, Málaga CF coach between 2014 and 2016, belonged to Córdoba CF during his time as a player.
The first Córdoba-Málaga
The first time Córdoba and Málaga locked horns was on 27th December 1953 in Third Division Group VI, when the entities were named CD San Álvaro and Atlético Malagueño respectively. The Córdoba-based rival won by 4-1, with Bernardi, a legend of the now extinct CD Málaga, scoring the goal of honour for the Blue and Whites.
