Fuerteventura Set to Host Exciting Women’s Football Match
For the very first time, Fuerteventura will host an official preseason match featuring two teams from the Primera División of Spanish women’s football. On July 29th, the Estadio Municipal de Los Pozos in Puerto del Rosario will be the venue for the inaugural I Torneo Fuerteventura FutFem Coral Hotels. The clash will see CD Tenerife Costa Adeje take on RCD Espanyol in an event that promises high-stakes competition and free entry for fans, lovingly broadcasted by Televisión Canaria.
Boosting Women’s Sports on the Island
This groundbreaking initiative is significantly backed by the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, which aims to attract top-tier sports events to the island. The project not only seeks to enhance the visibility of women’s sports but also works to inspire local youth—particularly aspiring female athletes—by providing them access to professional footballing role models. In collaboration with the local government, the Ayuntamiento de Puerto del Rosario is generously providing the facilities for the match.
A Proud Moment for Local Leadership
Lola García, President of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, expressed her enthusiasm: “It’s a satisfaction to have Fuerteventura host a match of this nature, placing the island on the national map of women’s football and bringing elite sports closer to our community. We intend to keep driving initiatives that inspire our girls and consolidate Fuerteventura as a premier destination for major sporting events.”
Expanding the Island’s Sports Landscape
Luis González, the Sports Councillor, further emphasized the importance of this event. “This match represents another step in our efforts to diversify the sporting offerings on the island while continuing to support the growth of women’s sports. We invite all fans and the local sports community to enjoy this top-tier spectacle, which citizens can follow for free.”

Youth Initiative: Football Clinic for Young Girls
In an additional effort to empower the next generation of female footballers, the presence of CD Tenerife Costa Adeje will enable a special educational experience.
