La Manga kicks off five-a-side tournament
PlayFootball, a leading operator of five-a-side football venues across the UK, has agreed a new partnership with Spain’s La Manga Club resort that will see amateur footballers given the opportunity to enjoy the same facilities used by some of Europe’s leading professional football clubs.
The new agreement provides official overseas resort partner status to La Manga Club and will see the resort’s sports and leisure facilities promoted on several platforms to PlayFootball’s extensive database of active footballers.
The partnership also sees the creation of a new five-a-side football event – the La Manga Club Sunshine Cup – which will take place at the resort’s state-of-the-art football complex, from September 13-15.
Open to any UK team, the event provides two or three nights’ accommodation, a PlayFootball organised five-a-side competition, welcome cocktail and a presentation dinner, with prices starting from €226 (£200 approx) per person.
In addition, La Manga Club will also receive promotion of its facilities and packages to the members of ROKO Health Clubs – a sister brand of PlayFootball. Both brands are owned by The Sports and Leisure Group.
La Manga Club has been chosen as a warm-weather training venue by many of Europe’s leading club and national sides including England, Scotland, Real Madrid and German champions Borussia Dortmund.
Its sport and leisure facilities include three 18-hole championship golf courses, a 28-court tennis centre and a 2,000sqm spa and fitness centre.
