The Malaguista stadium hosted a very special day to strengthen ties, with Málaga CF as the common denominator.
A large number of Club season ticket holders within La Rosaleda’s exclusive VIP areas made up one team, whilst the other comprised of members of the Club’s ‘Playing at Home’ initiative, which has grown exponentially this season.
Due to the high number of participants at the event, a three-match tournament was held in the group stage and a grand final amongst the VIP and Playing at Home teams. Team captains were Fuengirola-born former Blue and White players Jesús Gámez and Manu Sánchez, accompanied by the ‘forever’ and Femenino reserve team coach, Javi Ramos and the ever-present Basti, Malaguista legend and soul of the MCF Foundation’s Social Department.
Both teams showed a very good level of football, particularly considering the prevailing heat, with tight results and a close final that ended in a draw (0-0). In the penalty shootout, the VIPs beat the Playing at Home team by 5-3.
Following the presentation of the champion's trophy, the teams enjoyed a pleasant discussion in La Rosaleda’s Tribuna VIP area to bid farewell to the season in the best possible place. Our temple. Thank you all for coming, see you next year!
