Málaga

About

Málaga CF is one of the more unheralded teams in La Liga, most probably because the team has changed names and owners so many times since its establishment in 1904. The current incarnation of the team came from the ashes of two former clubs, Club Atlético Malagueño and CD Málaga, the former club remained solvent, while the latter folded. Málaga has never finished better than fourth-place in Spain’s Primera División, yet it qualified for the quarter-finals of both the UEFA Champions League in 2013 and the UEFA Europa League in 2003. Los Boquerones (The Anchovies) as the team players are known, take the pitch at La Rosaleda (Rose Garden), a stadium that holds approximately 31,000.
