Córdoba CF will play their first pre-season friendly on July 15 at Marbella Football Center. Their opponent will be South Africa's Orlando Pirates, who will be training on the Costa del Sol.
Córdoba CF has confirmed their first pre-season test. It will take place on July 15 at 19:00 at Marbella Football Center, where they will face Orlando Pirates from the South African Premier League. The blanquiverde team thus begins a series of friendlies to prepare for their third consecutive season in the Second Division.
An exotic opponent to kick off
Orlando Pirates, one of the most successful clubs in South Africa, has chosen the facilities at Marbella Football Center for their pre-season training camp, from July 12 to 25. The match against Córdoba CF is part of this training camp. For the Cordobesistas, it will be an opportunity to measure themselves against a team from another continent and to start playing against a worthy opponent.
Marbella Football Center, located in the Málaga area, has become a regular destination for international teams seeking good weather and excellent facilities. Orlando Pirates is not the first African team to choose the Costa del Sol to prepare for the season.
Three confirmed friendlies
The match against the South Africans adds to the two friendlies already announced by Córdoba CF. The first will be the Trofeo Puertas de Córdoba, which will see the blanquiverde team face Sevilla FC on July 23 at El Arcángel at 21:00. The second, against Elche, will take place on July 31 at 19:00 in Oliva, during the Ilicitano team's training camp.
Thus, Córdoba CF's pre-season schedule is taking shape. The Cordobesista fans, excited after the promotion to the Second Division two seasons ago, hope the team can compete for the play-off spots for promotion to the First Division. The management is still working in the offices at El Arcángel to finalize more signings and complete the squad.
A busy summer at El Arcángel
The sports commission of Córdoba CF is not taking a holiday. According to club sources, there is still much work ahead in the transfer market. With around thirty players in the first training sessions, several signings are expected in the coming weeks to strengthen all lines.
For fans who want to see the team in action before the league starts, the friendly in Marbella is a must-attend event. The facilities at Marbella Football Center have a limited capacity, so arriving early is recommended. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 15 at 19:00.
