Town Hall approves the concession of Arraijanal in favour of the Málaga CF Foundation

The joint work between the Foundation and Town Hall, with president Al Thani and Mayor, Francisco de la Torre at the helm, takes a decisive step forward today for the procurement of the Academy.

The Málaga CF Foundation received great news today. The Local Government Board has approved the public concession of the plot of sports land at Arraijanal for the Foundation, as well as the Technical, Legal and Economic-Administrative conditions that will govern the construction of the Academy.

Thanks to the joint work between the heads of the Town Planning and Sports councils and the Club – with Mayor, Francisco de la Torre and president, Abdullah Al Thani at the head of both – a longing and necessity for the team, grassroots football and the Malaguista fans today takes a definitive step forward in the certification of this concession.

A reality that includes the transfer of land for the construction of the ‘Ciudad Deportiva’, to be managed by the Málaga CF Foundation for a period of 75 years. The facilities will serve to accommodate more than 500 Malagueño and Malaguista boys and girls, where they can develop as players, and more importantly as people, through the values of sport: Blue and Whites’ Values.

The Málaga CF Foundation will assume the full cost of all construction works of the Academy in the grounds of Arraijanal, and will undertake the public urbanisation of the area. A project that includes a covered area of 12.500m2 and an outdoor sports area of 95.868’96m2, with football pitches, green zones and parking facilities.

Furthermore, the Málaga CF Foundation will be collaborating with the Town Hall in the organisation of educational and social programs, aimed at promoting the values of sport amongst players, parents and spectators.
