Marbella modernizes and strengthens security at football fields

The Marbella City Council has launched a comprehensive plan to replace protective mats at the main municipal sports facilities with the goal of improving safety and modernizing the equipment. Work is already underway at the soccer fields for 11 and 5 players at the Antonio Serrano Lima Sports Complex. This action complements recent improvements such as the renewal of artificial turf, the installation of a modern irrigation system, the updating of nets and posts, and the creation of a separate access to the locker rooms for visiting teams.

The Councilor for Public Works, Diego López, explained that this intervention, which involves the replacement of 1,322 linear meters of protective mats, "not only improves the safety of our athletes but also modernizes the spaces so that residents can enjoy top-level facilities." He detailed that at the Serrano Lima, 125 square meters of protections will also be installed on the median wall that separates the Rubén Guerrero pavilion from the 5-a-side soccer field, and 172 linear meters of mats will be replaced on the 7-a-side soccer field. "We want our athletes to train and play with the peace of mind of being in a safe environment," he valued.

"We are committed to comprehensive maintenance that ensures the quality and functionality of all municipal complexes and to offering modern and safe facilities"

Meanwhile, at Arroyo Primero, the Luis Teruel soccer field will receive 253 linear meters of new mats, while at the 11-player soccer field, 198 linear meters will be renewed. Likewise, at the 11-player soccer field of the Carlos Sánchez Navarro Complex, in Vigil de Quiñones, 312 linear meters of these elements will be installed.

The Councilor for Public Works emphasized that the Marbella City Council continues "to bet on comprehensive maintenance that guarantees the quality and functionality of all municipal complexes." He also highlighted that these actions are part of "the government team's commitment to offering modern and safe facilities" and that they will be complemented by other improvements planned for the end of the year.
