The Martirico club has launched a communication about the situation through the official media.
The Malaga Soccer Club wishes to transfer your concern to the forecast of playing its home games, during the remodeling works of La Rosaleda, at the City Athletics Stadium of Malaga.

This scenario could be a serious economic, sports and, especially social damage for the entity. The unconditional support of our fans has been decisive to support the club in a complex stage, marked by a judicial process still ongoing and the absence of private investment. Málaga CF is financed, today, with the assets that it is capable of generating for itself, and its social mass is undoubtedly the most valuable of them.

However, this transformation must be addressed with the maximum guarantees and without compromising the stability of the club or the right of its subscribers to accompany it in this new stage.
We cannot forget that the Malaga Soccer Club is the first team in the province, which represents Malaga in the national football scene and that channels, every week, the illusion of tens of thousands of Malaga and Malaga.
We trust the will of the institutions, which have demonstrated their support for the club over the years, both symbolic and economic – through sponsorships and collaborations. Therefore, we call for the search for a solution that allows maintaining the assistance of the thickness of the fans, thus guaranteeing the sports and economic viability of the entity during this period of transition.
Only with an answer provided to the social dimension of Málaga CF will avoid a potentially irreversible impact on the reference club of the city and the province.
