  Molde FK lead the Eliteserien with 33 points after the first 16 rounds. They are followed by Bodo/Glimt with 31, and Rosenborg and Lilleström with 28.

  The top division of Norwegian football starts in spring, rather than summer, which is why it is so late in the season. Almost all the teams in the Eliteserien are regular clients of MFC, who come to the Costa del Sol during the cold Scandinavian winter months.

  During their stay, the teams prepare for the season, play friendly matches, and even the referees of the Norwegian federation practice and train in Spain.

  The Eredivisie, the first division of football in the Netherlands, is led by 3 friends of Marbella Football Center. Feyenoord, PSV and Heerenveen lead the standings with 6 points.

  These 3 teams are regular customers, who visit the Costa del Sol during the Winter Break. Now our 3 friends occupy the first 3 places, which give access to the Champions League and the Conference League.

  Feyenoord is the team in first place because of the better goal-average. Last year they didn’t have their best season, finishing fifth, but this year they are going for the title. 

  PSV is second, and last season they were runners-up. This year they will try to perform a better season and try to win the title.

  Heerenveen is the third team, finishing mid-table last season. This year they will try to improve their results.

  After 2 rounds of Premier League and Liverpool (friend of Marbella Football Center), leads the competition. Two wins in two games have given Kilopp’s team the lead, which they share with 4 other teams.

  A balance of 5 goals scored and none conceded, speaks very well of the start of the season for the “reds”. Firmino, Salah, Mané and Jota (2) have been the scorers in the start of the league for the club from the West of England.

  On Saturday, the Reds will face another of the co-leaders, Chelsea. The Anfield stadium will be a cauldron to welcome the current European champions and try to beat it in one of the best football matches you can see today.

Our friends will play a total of 10 matches to get one of the 2 places that give access to the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

• Silver for Spain and bronze for Mexico after their stage with Marbella Football Center

  2 of the 3 medals in competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have fallen on the side of Marbella Football Center’s friends. Spain won the silver medal, while Mexico took the bronze.

  The Spanish national team held a 13-day training camp in July at the Meliá Villaitana Football Center complex, where the players stayed away from the media noise, focusing on their preparation. 

  The Mexican national team spent more than 10 days at the Marbella Football Center, along with 4 other teams. These teams played the Preolympic Match Week, precisely to prepare for this important event.

  

  The Spanish team had a great tournament, but a goal from the Brazilian team in extra time (Malcom), deprived Luis de la Fuente’s men of a well-deserved gold medal. Mexico, who lost in the semi-finals to Brazil, defeated Japan in the bronze medal match.

  It is a pleasure and a source of pride for us to see our friends in the top positions of such an important tournament as the Olympic Games. From the Costa del Sol we congratulate our friends for their great performance.
