The mayor of Torrox, Óscar Medina, renewed his membership with the CD Torrox football team, which is preparing for the next season in Spanish football.
The mayor wanted to set an example when it comes to supporting local sports. Medina encouraged residents of Torrox to follow suit.
“Sport is life,” Medina explained, highlighting the key role that community support plays in keeping local teams active and thriving. He added that backing these clubs isn’t just about money, it’s about morale, participation, and helping young athletes develop values like teamwork, discipline, and equality.
Joining the mayor in renewing memberships were other members of the municipal government. CD Torrox’s vice-president delivered the membership cards in a small ceremony that symbolised the town’s officials’ commitment to local sport.
Local sports clubs in Torrox are operating on tight budgets and rely heavily on community support. They exist especially because of the dedication of coaches, volunteers, families, and directors. It’s a fragile ecosystem, so every resident who becomes a member is helping the clubs survive.
Meanwhile, the town hall recently invested in facilities and infrastructure over the past few years, with the goal to position Torrox as a sporting hub in the Malaga area. By joining local clubs and paying a small membership, residents contribute directly to this objective.
All in all, such small acts of support can make a huge difference. Even attending certain matches or simply cheering from the sidelines helps.
