The City Council renews its commitment to the Marbella Rugby Club

The Marbella City Council has renewed its commitment to the Marbella Rugby Club by signing an agreement, which includes a nominative subsidy of 50,000 euros, "to contribute to the development of their sports programs and projects, including not only the maintenance of the municipal facilities that have been granted to them, but also the funding of travel and the general economic cost that a entity of this magnitude involves."

This was highlighted by the mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, during the ceremony held this afternoon, where she stated that "it is a pride for the city to have one of the best clubs in Spain and internationally" and she also valued "the commitment to a wonderful youth academy, which makes it possible for it to be a great family, and then they can have magnificent athletes who are called up by the national team itself."

In this regard, the mayor, who was accompanied by the Sports Councilor, Lisandro Vieytes, emphasized the successes that the club has achieved, with players who have been crowned champions of Spain and Andalusia, consolidating themselves as "great leaders." For his part, José Arjona, president of the Marbella Rugby Club, thanked the renewal of the agreement and expressed that it represents "a joy and a peace of mind, so that we can carry out all our activities."

He explained that they currently have "many teams, more than ever, which involves making numerous trips throughout Spain, to cities like Barcelona, Valladolid, and Madrid, with a large number of children." He advanced that in the next season "we are going to do our best; in the end, we have a very well-formed youth academy" and he is convinced that the club "will again fight for the top positions in the Andalusian championship." "This will give us the pass to the Spanish championships and I am sure that the boys will again rise to the occasion," he added.
