Sadly, Fuengirola does not have its own international football academy – despite having no less than three municipal football stadia! Fortunately, just along the road is the excellent AFA Marbella.

I quote:”AFA MARBELLA was established in 1997 and is the most popular International Football Academy in Southern Europe. Based in Marbella, AFA is ideally located over the road from La Cañada shopping Centre and offer girls and boys from the age of 5-19 the opportunity to learn the game, about sportsmanship, individual expression and a winning mentality in a safe, fun and professionally controlled environment.

For the serious player, AFA offer the opporunity of trials at many of our partner clubs from the age of 16 and over. For the fun seeking enthusiast, we offer a wide range of soccer camps, skill clinics and training sessions aimed at maximising your ability and enjoyment.

AFA is also a family club, and we hard hard in the community, coaching at International schools and colleges in an effort to bring sport to the Costa del Sol Community.

Our training is held every Monday and Wednesday Evening and new players are always welcome.

AFA also pride itself in having ALL teams playing competitive football in organised leagues. The under 8′s and Under 10′s play in the Local Malaga League and the rest all play in the Federal Malaga league.

AFA is run by a team of dedicated and enthusiastic coaches with lots of experience at all levels of football. We are serious about our football and will teach you how to be too”.
