Marbella clubs, organisations, companies and federations can apply for municipal collaboration with sporting events during 2027, with applications open until 30 November; submitting a request does not guarantee approval.

Who can apply and when

Eligible organisations can request municipal collaboration within the published application period.

Marbella City Council will open the application period on 26 October for clubs, brotherhoods, companies, associations and federations seeking municipal collaboration in organising sporting events during 2027.

The call remains open until 30 November. Applicants should ensure their requests are submitted within that period, using the procedure established by the council.

Assessment is not automatic approval

Applications will be reviewed before the council decides whether collaboration can proceed.

Submitting an application does not mean that it will be accepted automatically. Each proposal will undergo a technical assessment before the council officially communicates any authorisation and the possible forms of collaboration.

A technical commission will assess the viability of the proposals. The Sports Department will have another 30 days after 30 November to communicate the assessment to the organisations that applied.

Where and how to submit

Applicants should use the council’s electronic portal and official entry register.

The call’s terms will be available through the Marbella City Council electronic headquarters. Applicants should look for the specific section titled ‘Application for collaboration with sporting events during 2027’.

Requests must be processed through the entry register and include the information needed by the Sports Department to examine each activity’s characteristics and requirements.

Why this matters in Marbella

The process gives local sporting organisers a formal route to seek municipal collaboration.

For clubs and other organisations planning sporting activities in Marbella during 2027, the application provides a defined route for requesting municipal collaboration. The process also makes clear that proposals will be assessed before any official decision is issued.

Residents and groups in Marbella, as well as readers elsewhere on the Costa del Sol, should treat the application deadline and assessment requirements as important practical points when following planned sporting activities in the municipality.

What readers should know

Potential applicants should review the official terms and prepare complete submissions.

Organisations considering an application should consult the terms in the council’s electronic headquarters, locate the section titled ‘Application for collaboration with sporting events during 2027’, and submit the request through the entry register.

Applicants should provide the information required for the Sports Department to study the event’s characteristics and needs. They should also allow for the technical assessment and the further 30-day period for the valuation to be communicated.
