Club Overview

Malaga CF traces its roots to a club formed in 1948 through the merger of local teams.

Málaga CF is a La Liga club based in Málaga. Their home ground is La Rosaleda, with a capacity of around 30,044.

Seating Guide

Opened in 1941, La Rosaleda is notable for having its gates named after club legends (Migueli, Viberti, and others). The stadium is jointly owned by the city, provincial, and Andalusian regional governments.

Tickets

The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket (abono) holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.

This site is mainly in Spanish — here's how to get through it

  1. On the ticket site, click your desired match date.
  2. Choose a seating zone — pricing for each zone is shown directly on the site.
  3. Sign up or log in, then pick your seat and complete the payment.
  4. Some clubs check ID against the buyer's name at entry, so bring your passport along with the ticket.

Cheer Culture

Málaga fans’ nickname ‘Boquerones’ (anchovies) comes from the port city’s signature dish — a source of pride now literally stitched inside the jersey collar. Even through financial turmoil, fans still fill La Rosaleda with chants and waving scarves, a symbol of the city’s football culture.
