Both projects are possible at the same time

Lately, many supporters of Málaga Club de Fútbol visit our facebook page. That is wonderful because we have a message for you:

We all support the construction of a new Sports City for Málaga CF: associations, ecologists, neighbours, volunteers, and probably most citizens of Málaga. 

Thus, what do we ask for?

Very easy: other location.

There is much land in Málaga to build a Sport City. There are larger plots, with good access for cars, parking, that meet all the requirements for this great project and that have great acceptance among neighbours and associations. Contrarily, in Málaga there is only a piece of coast without development: the beach of Arraijanal. 

In addition, this piece of undeveloped coast was the place where Phoenicians were settled, it has Roman rests, it is the habitat for unique wild flora and fauna, it is a place for bird migration since hundreds of years, it has underground aquifers, and many others archaeological and environmental values. 

Moreover, this is an area of big risk for flooding, next to a neighbourhood with a very poor sewage, that uses to be flooded when strong rain comes. The construction of big football grounds, that absorb little water, and the cementation of the aquifers will engross the flooding problems of the adjacent neighbourhood. 

Furthermore, it is very close to the Plaza Mayor mall, which use to create traffic jams of more than two kilometres in its access every weekend and during the whole summer. Last year, there were several traffic accidents in the area. This mall is being expanded, so the traffic problem will likely aggravate. 

And finally, we all know that the sheikh is not working for Málaga CF since long time ago, it has sold the good players and has leaded it to the second division. And now, is he suddenly interested in invest tons of money to build a new Sport City for the team? Only when he gets the free transfer of 105.000 m2 in Costa del Sol, when he is offered fields in San Cayetano and other locations, he is not interested. 

So, which is his interest? 

Easy: the location. 

The sheikh is not interested in the Sport City for Málaga CF, nor in the citizens of Málaga, he came to Andalucía to make business, he tried in Marbella, failed, and now is trying in Arraijanal. It seems that in Málaga we do gift him with land for his own economic interest. 

If you really love Málaga, you know that it is possible to have a Sport City, but respecting the neighbours of the city, the undeveloped coast and the Natural Parq of Arraijanal.
