The team, managed by Funes, continues to refine its preparation for the return to Primera División. This friendly against the Qatari team joins other international commitments, bringing the total number of confirmed matches for the summer preseason to four.
The duel against Al-Arabi SC will be held at the Marbella Football Center, a usual venue for the club's summer matches. This will be the third international opponent for the 'blanquiazules' in this demanding preparation ahead of LaLiga EA Sports.
Additionally, Málaga CF will also face Al-Ittihad from the Saudi Pro League on Thursday, July 30, at 8:00 PM, at the same Marbella Football Center. Tickets for this match, managed by the sports center itself, are already on sale at a unit price of 18 euros.
Ticket purchases for the friendly matches can be made through the Marbella Football Center website. The 2026/27 preseason is expected to be intense due to the proximity of the dates, following the postponement of the previous season's end for the playoff and the achievement of promotion to the First Division.
