• 13 friends of MFC in LaLiga Santander and LaLiga Smartbank

  15 September, 2021
  
  

  

  Many LaLiga clubs have worked in Marbella Football Center this summer. During the summer period, many choose the Costa del Sol to prepare for the start of the season with the best possible guarantees.

  A total of 13 of them between the first and second division worked with us this summer. Today we review their season start.

  RCD Mallorca and Real Betis have made the best start to the season in LaLiga, with 7 and 5 points respectively. Rayo Vallecano is in the middle of the table with 4 points. RCD Espanyol, Cádiz CF, Granada CF and RC Celta have been less lucky and will be looking to improve next weekend.

  In LaLiga Santander, UD Almería and Málaga CF are in the playoff places, while UD Ibiza and SD Eibar are watching them closely, with 7 points (only 1 point behind Málaga and 2 behind Almería). In the quiet zone of the table we find Las Palmas, with 6 points. The group of MFC’s friends is closed by AD Alcorcón, who last matchday got its first win of the season.

• Marbella FC will play its home games at MFC

  10 September, 2021
  
  

  

  Marbella FC will play this season at the Marbella Football Center. Belonging to the Third RFEF, the team will debut tomorrow in its first match of the official season.

  Marbella Football Center and the M.I. Ayuntamiento de Marbella have reached an agreement for the team to play their matches at our facilities at least until March. With a capacity of 950 spectators, and with a 60% restriction, up to 570 spectators will be able to enjoy local football.

  UDC Torredonjimeno will be the first rival of the Marbella team in what will also be their first match in this new category. The team faces this new season with all the illusion and with the clear objective of moving up to the Second RFEF.

  We wish Marbella FC the best luck in this new season!

• The best pre-seasons at Marbella Football Center

  9 September, 2021
  
  

  

  The pre-season is the preparatory period that precedes the start of a sporting season. During this time, the teams take the opportunity to carry out their preparation stages.

  Gatherings, tournaments, friendly matches are held and technical and tactical aspects are worked on. All with a view to the season to come.

  This preparation helps the teams to lay the foundations for what they want to build during the season, to get to know the new players and how they fit into the team.

  Pre-season targets:

  • Physical preparation
  • Tactical preparation
  • Psychological preparation

  Benefits of the pre-season:

  1. Decrease in injuries due to improved strength, coordination and balance.
  2. Greater possibility of planning by having a good base.           
  3. Increased ability to maintain high levels of performance throughout the year.
  4. Improved ability to perform high intensity training.

  In general we can say that pre-seasons improve the general capabilities of the athletes and the group.

  Marbella Football Center contributes to the realization of these pre-seasons, offering the teams:

  • Elite facilities.
  • Top quality turf.
  • Accommodation in hotels close to the training camp.
  • Optimal climate for preparation.
  • High level matches for preparation.
  • Personalised service and 24/7 attention.

• The Andalusia Cup will be played at Marbella Football Center

  7 September, 2021
  
  

  

  Marbella Football Center will host one of the semi-finals of the Copa Andalucía, organised by the Royal Andalusian Football Federation. The match will be played on Friday 10th from 19:30.

  Chiclana CF and CD Espeleño will face off for a place in the final against the winner of the match between Atarfe Industrial CF and C D Rincón. This semi-final (also on Friday 10th) and the final (Sunday 12th) will be played at the San Pedro Alcántara football ground.

  The ‘Copa Andalucía’ is the gateway for modest teams to the knockout rounds of the Copa del Rey. The finalists will gain access to the inter-territorial round of the Copa del Rey. If they make it through this round, they will face a first division club, as was the case last year with CD Rincón (de la Victoria).

  This is not an unknown event for us, as last year our facilities already hosted this same tournament.

  The Turkish national team beat Andorra 3-0 in a match in the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. The Turks are group leaders with 11 points in five matches.

  To prepare for this important match, the team has been training in Sotogrande with the Marbella Football Center. During this time they have trained thinking about the match against Gibraltar and the next match against the Netherlands tomorrow.

  This match is key, as the Dutch are in second place, just one point behind our Turkish friends and tied with our Norwegian friends. A win at the Amsterdam Arena would make it much easier for them and would also help Norway in their quest to qualify for the World Cup.

  The Norwegian national team continues its struggle for one of the two places that give access to the finals of the World Cup in Qatar 2022. Our Scandinavian friends drew against another of the favourites in the group, the Netherlands.

  A goal, of course, from Erling Haaland, gave the Norwegians a point, who played a good game, but saw Klaassen equalise before half-time.

  In March the first 3 matches were played, in which our friends prepared 2 with Marbella Football Center, who also organised the second one. It was in La Rosaleda, against the Turkish national team (first classified in the group).

  Now, after the draw against the Dutch team, they have to face Latvia and Gibraltar, in search of the first place in the group.

  From the Costa del Sol, we wish our friends all the luck, although the great work they are doing and the emerging talent in Norwegian football makes this goal more and more possible.
