History
Atlético Andalucía CF was founded in 2009 in order to provide the autonomous community of Andalusia the best in football training and development. The club's aim is to combine an international winning tradition on the pitch with a standard of excellence within the community.
The club was formed out of a necessity for professional football in the Marbella area. With the ever growing International youth football players in the Costa Del Sol, but without a Spanish/English professional club to get behind, these players are left having to go elsewhere for high level football after they age out of their respective clubs.
Atlético Andalucía CF is divided into five integral parts, (First Team, Youth Training/Academy, International Development, Youth Camps and Clinics, and Community Outreach). With all five of these components, Atlético Andalucía CF is looking to become the pinnacle of football in the Marbella community with long term goals to move up the Spanish Football League system.
