The match, to be held at the Marbella Football Center, was initially scheduled for 8:00 PM but was moved forward to 7:00 PM due to the Saudi club's needs. The broadcast will be live on 101 Televisión Málaga, and a minute-by-minute online stream will be available on the Málaga Hoy website.
This game marks the second preseason friendly for Málaga CF, following their debut against Leicester. Their opponent, Al-Ittihad, is one of Saudi Arabia's most decorated clubs, having made significant investments in signing European stars.
Al-Ittihad does not do things by halves when it comes to the transfer market. They attract stars from Europe with hefty price tags and salaries unattainable on the old continent.
The Saudi team has made a substantial investment, exceeding 395 million euros in the last five years. Their squad includes recognizable players such as Moussa Diaby, Steven Bergwijn, Houssem Aouar, Predrag Rajkovic, and Youssef En-Nesyri, who previously played for Málaga CF.
Global stars like Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kanté, and Fabinho have also played for the club, which aims to compete in the top continental competition.
