Marbella Completes Comprehensive Renovation of Juan José Almagro Football Field

The Marbella City Council has completed the comprehensive renovation of the 11-a-side football field at the Juan José Almagro complex in San Pedro Alcántara, taking a further step in the remodeling of sports facilities in the municipality. The mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, visited the facility and highlighted that it hosts training sessions for five clubs and over 1,200 children, making these improvements, as pointed out by the mayor, "an essential intervention to respond to high turnover and intensive use."

Muñoz noted that the project, which involved an investment of nearly 400,000 euros, included the complete replacement of the turf with one of the highest quality, covering more than 6,500 square meters, in addition to modernizing the irrigation system, repainting the stands, improving the goals, and installing new protection areas, similar to what was done at the Serrano Lima field in Marbella.

The construction of the new Guadaiza field is in the bidding process and will begin in 2026

"The goal is to continue keeping our facilities in top condition and to keep promoting new facilities that improve the quality of life, especially for young people who practice sports daily," emphasized the mayor. In this regard, Muñoz, who was accompanied by the deputy mayor of San Pedro Alcántara, Javier García, and the councilor of the area, Lisandro Vieytes, has announced that work is already underway on replacing the turf of the 5-a-side football field at the Antonio Naranjo Municipal Stadium after having done the same before summer with other facilities of this type in the complex.

Additionally, she added that the bidding for the new Guadaiza field is being finalized, with construction set to begin next year, and she stressed that these actions "consolidate the City Council's commitment to grassroots sports and the promotion of healthy habits among the citizens."
