[edit] History
The club can trace its history back to 1904 with the formation of Málaga Foot-Ball Club. 1912 saw the arrival of a rival club FC Malagueño. In 1927 the former club became Real Málaga FC after they were granted royal patronage by Alfonso XIII. During the 1929-30 season both of these clubs became founder members of the Tercera División. In late 1930 Real Málaga FC were reformed as Málaga Sports Club. In 1933 Málaga SC and FC Malagueño merged to become Club Deportivo Malacitano and in 1934 this new club made its debut in the Segunda División when the division was expanded from ten teams to twenty four. In 1941 this club changed their name to CD Málaga.
[edit] Trofeo Costa del Sol
Between 1961 and 1983 the club organised its own summer tournament, the Trofeo Costa del Sol. CD Málaga won this competition themselves on three occasions, beating Real Madrid, Red Star Belgrade and Derby County in the finals. In 2003 this competition was revived by Málaga CF. In 1976 CD Málaga won a similar summer trophy, the Trofeo Ciudad de La Línea, played in La Línea de la Concepción, near Gibraltar. They won the trophy after beating both Dinamo Tbilisi and Valencia CF on penalties.
