• Blind, another top player who chooses Marbella Football Center

  Daley Blind, another top level player who chooses Marbella Football Center to carry out his recovery. After an injury, the Dutch player works out on the MFC pitches and in the state-of-the-art gym.

  

  The son of another football great (Danny Blind), Daley has his father as a reference point, a European champion with Ajax and international with Holland. Our friend Daley has followed in his father’s footsteps, joining Ajax (after a stint with our friends at Manchester United) and is an international player with the Dutch national team.

  

  An injury has deprived Daley of the final part of the season, but he does not want to miss Euro 2021 and has therefore chosen Marbella Football Center to carry out his recovery.

  

  Like many others, Daley appreciates the standard of the facilities at MFC, as well as the privacy in which he can work out in the best conditions. We wish him all the best and look forward to seeing him in the coming weeks at the European Championship.

  The Spanish U-16 national team finished its stage at Marbella Football Center. A 3-day training camp that has helped the team to improve tactically, but especially to grow collectively.

  During their stay, the promising young Spanish players have taken advantage of their stay to play several matches against each other. In this way, the players have been able to prove their worth to the coach.

  The good weather conditions have helped our friends to train at the highest level. Their presence in Marbella is due to the agreement signed between the RFEF and the M.I.

  Mallorca returns to First Division

  RCD Mallorca returns to LaLiga Santander. The red team did not even have to play the last two rounds of LaLiga SmartBank to achieve their goal.

  Just one year in the second division has been enough for the Balearic team to return to the top category of Spanish football. From home, the team mathematically promoted thanks to the defeat of UD Almeria against FC Cartagena.

  The Mallorcan team is a regular client of Marbella Football Center and Football Impact, so we are extremely proud of their return to LaLiga Santander.

  The team has repeatedly worked on the Costa del Sol, playing friendly matches organised by Football Impact against top level opposition.

  With an excellent defensive record, Luis García Plaza’s men have conceded the fewest goals in the competition. With 25 goals in 40 games, the team has based its play on good tactical work.

  Now we can only congratulate them and hope to see them again soon to prepare the new objectives for next season.
