Calahonda Footballers Unite for Community Cancer Fundraiser
Real Calahonda Walking Football Club brings the local expat community together for a spirited charity tournament this weekend.
Sportsmanship and solidarity take centre stage in Calahonda this weekend as local football players unite to raise vital funds for cancer support services across the western coast.
Community Spirit on the Pitch
The players of Real Calahonda Walking Football Club are coordinating a major charity match and fundraising gathering aimed at supporting local oncology initiatives and cancer patients in Málaga province. Walking football, which has surged in popularity among British and northern European retirees on the coast, offers a competitive yet low-impact way for veteran sportsmen to stay active.
Support for Coastal Charities
Beyond the action on the pitch, the event brings together local businesses, international residents, and families to rally around a vital cause. Proceeds raised through entrance donations, charity raffles, and community refreshment stands will go directly towards local cancer care associations that provide hospice assistance, patient transport, and psychological support for expatriates battling serious illness.
Join the Gathering
Spectators are warmly invited to attend the friendly matches and cheer on the teams this weekend in Calahonda, within the municipality of Mijas. With plenty of social activities, sideline refreshments, and opportunities to connect with fellow residents, organisers hope the event will foster stronger community ties while providing meaningful financial backing for patients across the Costa del Sol.
