In the Middle of the Soccer Capital

The Spanish community of Alcobendas is part of the Madrid metropolitan area — about 13 kilometers from the center — and at the same time one of the most economically prosperous districts in the capital. Alcobendas became notorious because it was here that the American singer Bing Crosby died of a heart attack while playing golf. But otherwise sport only makes positive headlines in the community: Both the women and the men of the club Alcobendas Balonmano Have already played handball in the highest Spanish League. The Valdelasfuentes District is home to the company founded in 2023 Madrid City Football Academy, which, as a professional soccer academy, attracts young players from all over the world. The Valdelasfuentes Sports Center is spread across the town and includes numerous facilities such as soccer fields, swimming pools and gyms, including five new artificial turf soccer fields of the highest quality. One of them is Campo de Fútbol Mario Suarez, named after Mario Suarez Mata, a former soccer player from Alcobendas, who played over 120 games for Atletico Madrid Has denied the club with which he became Spanish Champion and Cup Winner. The Place Is Also Used by the Club Rayo Ciudad Alcobendas CF. Above all, players from the Madrid City Football Academy train here, who receive solid soccer training at the Valdelasfuentes Sports Center, which also gives them the opportunity to play against top professional clubs, such as Real Madrid, Atletico, or Sevilla. At Campo de Fútbol Mario Suarez, we had the privilege of having our LigaTurf Legend Pro This filled artificial turf system is a real power pack in terms of performance and therefore the ideal solution for aspiring professionals with high demands. Thanks to the special multi-shape filament cross section, the LigaTurf Legend Pro impresses with optimal resilience, and the specially developed cross section also guarantees natural turf-like ball rolling and playing behavior. LigaTurf Legend Pro thus offers the perfect sport-specific solution for young Spanish soccer players. The quality of our artificial turf system is proven, among other things, by the qualification of LigaTurf Legend Pro in accordance with various international standards. The high wear protection of the filaments has been proven several times through intensive laboratory tests and ensures the sustainability of the surface. Visually, the larger filament width also ensures good coverage and, together with the bicolour colouring, gives the playing surface a fresh, natural appearance. Thanks to the turf structures tailored to the intended use and the Polytan system design, young Madrid athletes always feel comfortable and safe on the grass. At Polytan, we are proud to be able to install our profiled artificial turf system in Madrid — which confidently describes itself as the soccer capital of Europe. After all, over 10 teams from Madrid play in the Spanish “LaLiga”, and Real Madrid is undoubtedly one of the most famous soccer clubs in the world. The Valdelasfuentes Sports Center is not only one of the best locations in Madrid to train and play soccer, it is also just 10 minutes away from Valdebebas, Real Madrid's training center and just 15 minutes from both Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the stadium of Real Madrid as well as the Estadio Metropolitano, the home stadium of Atletico Madrid.
