Marbella reopens soccer field number 2 at Antonio Naranjo Stadium

The Marbella City Council has completed the replacement of the artificial turf at football field number 2 of the Antonio Naranjo Municipal Stadium, ... in San Pedro Alcántara. As of today, the facility is fully operational and available to clubs, sports schools, and individual users, who can resume normal use and the usual reservation and rental system this week.

The deputy mayor of San Pedro, Javier García, visited the site along with the Sports Councilor, Lisandro Vieytes, and emphasized that "we continue to advance in the modernization of these facilities in response to the demands of the clubs and residents who use them daily" and highlighted that this action, along with others recently, "demonstrates our commitment to grassroots sports and the continuous improvement of public spaces."

He detailed that the intervention, which was carried out within the Plan for Conservation, Maintenance, and Repair of Sports Facilities and Equipment, "consisted of dismantling the old pavement and installing a new artificial turf resistant to weather conditions, with the highest certifications for this activity and complying with all regulations that guarantee its quality, sustainability, and safety." Additionally, the renewal of the furniture, including goals and nets, was undertaken.

Quality and Safety

For his part, Vieytes explained that "the new turf meets the highest standards of quality and safety, which translates into a better experience for the players and a reduction in injuries." He also indicated that "we continue working on a comprehensive plan for the progressive renovation of municipal facilities to ensure that all citizens can enjoy optimal spaces for sports practice."

The councilor specified that the total surface area of the field is 980 square meters, and the new pavement "allows for optimal cushioning, better ball bounce, and more uniform traction."

He also pointed out that the action "adds to the one carried out in February 2025, when the turf of football field number 1 of the same stadium was replaced, and to the recently completed renovation of the Juan José Almagro annex surface, as part of the municipal strategy to modernize sports facilities in San Pedro Alcántara."
