The countdown has ended. Liga Iberdrola has arrived on the Costa del Sol. Málaga CF Femenino returns to the top flight of Spanish women’s football and does so against the current tournament champions, Atlético de Madrid Femenino. It will be a match of debuts and reunions. With 15 years’ experience in the First Division, Blue and Whites’ coach, Antonio Contreras returns to the Liga Iberdrola against a rival he knows well, as he coached the ‘Colchonero’ side between 2008 and 2011.

In addition, the majority of the squad will have the opportunity to debut in this competition. Major names on the Málaga CF Femenino squad such as Ruth Acedo, Encarni Carneros, María Ruiz and Pamela González could debut today in this long-awaited competition.
