First team coach, Míchel; goalkeeper, Roberto; sports director of the Entity, Mario Husillos; Málaga CF Femenino coach, Antonio Contreras; two of his players, Adriana and Chelsea; and Club advisers, Abdullah Ben Barek and Antonio Benítez were in attendance, to the delight of the school children.

Students from Colegio Espíritu Santo welcomed the Blue and Whites’ expedition with cheers and applause. They enjoyed the advice of their idols and interacted with them, before receiving a poster of La Rosaleda as a gift, bearing the name of the school, as well as posing for a group photograph.
Statements to MCFTV:
Roberto highlights the importance of conveying values and good habits to the young ones: “They must adopt good values, learn to eat well, spend their free time in a healthy manner, practice a lot of sport, so that in the end, during everything they do in life, these points will become very important”.
Adriana, Málaga CF Femenino striker, affirms that “through sport, a wealth of values are harnessed such as respect, self-confidence, teamwork, and above all, conveying these values in schools. The passion with which these children live sport, live what is Málaga CF, for us is a luxury to be able to come here and communicate what we experienced as children”.
