Marbella F.C. will debut in Segunda Federación on September 6 against Atlético Sanluqueño at the municipal stadium. The schedule features key derbies such as the one against Estepona, while fans await news about the club's institutional future.
The Marbella F.C. already knows its roadmap for the 2026/2027 season in Group IV of the Segunda Federación. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has published the official calendar, which will kick off on September 6 with a home match against Atlético Sanluqueño. This clash has a special flavour, as both teams were relegated from Primera Federación last season.
The first away game for the white team will be at the home of Sevilla Atlético, in an early match that will test the team's aspirations from the outset. The regional derby against C.D. Estepona is set for October 18 at home, while the return match at Muñoz Pérez will be on January 24. These dates are already marked in red on the calendar for Marbella fans.
Derbies, Travels, and Season Closure
On December 20, Marbella will visit the Linarejos stadium to face Linares Deportivo, closing the year 2026 away from home. The first half of the season will conclude with a trip to the Canary Islands to take on C.D. Tenerife B. The regular season will end on May 9, 2027, with another island trip, this time against U.D. Las Palmas Atlético. Before that, the team will play its last home match against Linares.
For fans, these travels will require a logistical effort, as two of the last matches are played outside the peninsula. The club is already working on travel packages to facilitate fan attendance, although there is no official confirmation yet.
Uncertainty in the Offices 20 Days Before Preseason
Beyond the calendar, the environment around Marbella F.C. is living with concern over the lack of movement in the squad. Only 20 days separate the start of preseason, and the club has not announced any signings or renewals. The institutional structure remains uncertain due to ongoing negotiations with an investment group, which have dragged on without resolution. This situation generates uncertainty among supporters, who fear that sports planning may be affected.
According to club sources, the management is working against the clock to close a deal that guarantees economic stability and allows for the formation of a competitive squad. Meanwhile, the first team remains without news, and the administrative silence is causing discontent among fans. The Marbella city council has shown its support for the club but insists on the need for the investment situation to be resolved as soon as possible.
For the local residents of Marbella, this lack of clarity translates into doubts about the level of the team they will see this season. Season ticket holders hope that at least the core of last season's squad will be maintained, although the departure of key players seems inevitable if the promised resources do not arrive.
In contrast, the RFEF has already confirmed the schedules for the first rounds, which will be published soon. Marbella F.C. will have to face a league start with two consecutive away matches in rounds 3 and 4, which will require good physical and mental preparation.
The context of last season, in which the team was relegated from Primera Federación, adds pressure to achieve an immediate promotion. However, the management reminds that Segunda Federación is a very competitive category, with historic teams like Linares and Sevilla Atlético. The set objective is to fight for the top spots, but current planning puts this in doubt.
Meanwhile, fans have already started organising fan clubs for the travels, especially to the Canary Islands. The club plans to provide buses for the nearest matches, such as the derby against Estepona. The countdown to the debut has already begun, and the uncertainty in the offices is the main obstacle to overcome.
A meeting between the management and the investment group is scheduled for August 15 to unlock the situation. If no agreement is reached, the club could face a controlled administration by the League. Fans hope that by then, the team will at least have a defined starting eleven.
