The '''Trofeo Costa del Sol''' (formerly "Trofeo Internacional Costa del Sol") is a [[association football|football]] friendly competition, financed by the [[Royal Spanish Football Federation|Spain Football Federation]] and held in the city of [[Málaga]], organised by both [[CD Málaga]] and Málaga City Council.

The competition initially ran from 1961 to 1983, being then discontinued due to financial difficulties until 2004, when it was finally relaunched. Since CD Málaga no longer exists as such, [[Málaga CF]] now participates in their stead.<ref name=histmal>[https://www.malagacf.com/historia-trofeo-costa-del-sol HISTORIA] at Málaga CF website</ref>

== History ==
The competition was held between 1961 and 1984 with four clubs participating, the local team and three invited clubs, with the exception of 1981 and 1982 when it was interrupted due to [[La Rosaleda Stadium]] being refurbished for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]]. Tottenham were invited in 1965 in which they won the trophy and then back in 1966 to defend it which they then won again.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://hotspurhq.com/2012/08/15/tottenham-win-1965-and-1966-costa-del-sol-trophy-know-your-tottenham-history/ |title=Tottenham Win 1965 and 1966 Costa del Sol Trophy Know Your Tottenham History |website=Hotspurhq.com |first=Logan |last=Holmes |accessdate=23 August 2021 }}</ref> [[Santos FC]] with superstar [[Pelé]] participated in 1967.<ref name=histmal/>

Nevertheless, CD Málaga's financial problems resulted in the competition being discontinued in 1983. The Trofeo Costa del Sol was relaunched in 2004, and was then staged until 2018. From the 2005 edition onwards, only one team was invited to play against the host team.<ref name=histmal/>

Some of the most notable players to have taken part in the Trofeo Costa del Sol are [[Pelé]] (1967), [[Eusébio]] (1966), [[Alfredo Di Stéfano]] (1963) and [[Johan Cruyff]] (1977), playing for their respective clubs. National teams such as the [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] have participated in the competition as well.<ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/costadelsol.html Trofeo Costa del Sol] on RSSSF.com</ref>

In 2023, Málaga CF announced that the club had intentions to relaunch the tournament, which last edition was held in 2017.<ref>[https://www.diariosur.es/malagacf/malaga-trofeocostadelsol-futbol-pretemporada-20230608184246-nt.html El Málaga se propone recuperar el Trofeo Costa del Sol] at Diario Sur, 9 Jun 2023</ref> The club stated they wanted to bring a German team to the competition.<ref>[https://www.eldesmarque.com/futbol/malaga-cf/20230420/el-trofeo-costa-del-sol-puede-regresar-este-mismo-verano-es-algo-que-el-malaga-tiene-que-recuperar_120281515.html El Trofeo Costa del Sol puede regresar este mismo verano: "Es algo que el Málaga tiene que recuperar"] by José Manuel Simón at El Desmarque, 20 Apr 2023</ref>
