Marbella Town Hall renews its backing for Marbella Rugby Club
The council has renewed its support for the club, which brings together players of more than 40 nationalities and had 368 players across its categories last season.
Marbella Town Hall has renewed its financial support for Marbella Rugby Club, backing the club’s sporting growth and its youth and social work. The announcement was made together with the club’s leadership.
Muñoz, speaking for the council, stressed the importance of a stable partnership between the town hall and local sports clubs. He explained that the municipal model guarantees this funding for four years, in recognition of the high costs of running a club with many teams, players, coaches and away trips.
A club open to the world
Club president José Arjona thanked the council for its backing and highlighted the work of the whole community around the club. “It is an honour that the city holds us in such high esteem,” he said.
Arjona underlined the club’s inclusive character, noting that it currently brings together people from more than 40 different nationalities. He described it as a welcoming place and a social hub where families spend the day, not just a sports venue. He said its growth rests on the steady arrival of new players and families, the work of its coaches and the methodology used across its age groups.
Growing numbers and national competition
According to the club’s vice-president, Marbella Rugby Club had 368 players across all its categories last season. That figure is expected to rise this season.
Its teams also take part in Spanish championships, which means considerable travel and organisational demands. The vice-president said the municipal support is “an important boost” economically and allows players to continue their sporting development and compete at the highest level.
