Top-class football facilities in Spain

You are here > Home > Hotel La Cala > Sports > Football

Our full-size football pitch is located in the heart of the resort, surrounded by the three championship golf courses.

The football facilities at La Cala Resort have been used by a number of top professional club sides from Europe and South America. In recent months the resort has been used by the English U-21 squad, FC Porto (Portugal), Atlante FC (Mexico), Barnsley FC and Peterborough United (England).

Apart from the range of training facilities on offer, the teams are also attracted by the exclusive use of the football pitch, which allows them to tailor their training programmes to their needs as only one team is booked at any particular time.

The fantastic climate of the Costa del Sol with, on average, over 320 days of sunshine and pleasant temperatures offers the advantage of warm weather training throughout the year.

The facilities at the resort allow team coaches to decide on the intensity level of the training camp. With our extensive range of complementary services, the training camp can be as intensive or relaxing as required.

READ WHAT THE PROS THINK ABOUT OUR FOOTBALL FACILITIES

Dynamo Moscow spokesman
“We have returned for the third time because of the quality of the facilities and the exclusivity provided. We are the only football team using the pitch and the only team staying in the resort. This is very important for us as it gives us great privacy and also flexibility. In addition, we are treated very well here and the staff are more than willing to help us in any way. It is great to get the chance of warm-weather training at this time of year. The players have been very impressed with Caracala Spa in the hotel.”

Peterborough United, Darren Ferguson (son of Sir Alex Ferguson)
“We are very fortunate at our level to have this training camp and access to these top-class facilities. Everything here is of the highest standard, from the pitch to the gym and spa and the hotel. In addition, everyone has been very helpful and all our needs are attended to immediately.”

Reading FC Manager and ex-Manchester United and England winger Steve Coppell
He described the La Cala facilities as “fantastic” and was pleased that the visit coincided with severe weather conditions in the U.K. as this was one of the reasons he wanted an uninterrupted training break.
