'Supercapacitados' at the II Genuine Football Tournament in Vélez-Málaga will take place on January 24

On January 24th, the Vivar Téllez stadium will host the 2nd edition of the Genuine Football Tournament, an inclusive event now in its second year, featuring teams such as Juventud Axarquía Fundación Rincón, which has been described by Manuel Gutiérrez, the Councilor for Sports of the Vélez town hall, as "super-abled". In addition, teams like Málaga C.F., Fundación Futbolística Cordobesa, and CD Andaluces Malagueños will also participate, competing for diversity and adapted sports.

The tournament schedule will be from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. "At the end of 2024, the genuine team of the municipality was born: Juventud Axarquía Fundación Rincón, a club of 'super-abled' that also covers the Axarquía region, as its name suggests," explained the Sports Councilor about the football tournament taking place this Saturday, emphasizing the government team's "commitment to equal opportunities and the promotion of diversity."

One year later, "we continue an exciting project and meet again to highlight the talent of our players, to continue breaking barriers and to move towards a more integrating and inclusive municipality," added Gutiérrez.

The tournament will allow the participation of four genuine teams, three from the province and one from Córdoba, “but it is much more than just a championship: it is a celebration and an opportunity for our players to show what they are capable of, their enthusiasm for football, on a special day for Vélez-Málaga to reflect its commitment to values such as respect, equality, and camaraderie,” highlighted the Sports Councilor.

Meanwhile, David Lorca, the coach of Juventud Axarquía, noted that it has been a generally "very beautiful and enriching year personally and professionally", emphasizing the special bond he has formed with the players.

In this regard, he stressed that such projects "are very necessary" to showcase the talent of these young people and move towards "an increasingly integrating space, where everyone has their moment of excitement." Additionally, the coach thanked the Vélez town hall for its support and commitment to this project, “for continuing to provide opportunities to all groups and to bet on a municipality based on coexistence and equality”. “It is a pride to accompany these boys in a project that already represents a year of excitement, commitment, and work,” he concluded.
