Málaga CF will not be able to enjoy giant screens for their promotion play off matches in La Liga. LaLiga has denied the city council's request to install giant screens for the matches against UD Las Palmas. The reason given by the league president, Javier Tebas, is related to television rights, which prevents public spaces from being enabled for fans to follow decisive matches in a community setting. A measure that has been suffered by the blanquiazul followers on previous occasions, who were also unable to enjoy the Ceuta-Málaga CF match in a collective manner, outside the stadium, just a few weeks ago. Now, the negative response is repeated, leaving no alternative for thousands of fans who will have to live the fight for promotion from their homes, bars or private establishments. The request was processed through the Sports Department, which conveyed LaLiga's willingness to organize an alternative for all those fans who cannot displace or do not have access to an entry. However, the response has been clear: there will be no authorization to install giant screens, neither during the semifinals nor in a hypothetical final for promotion. The decision is a cold shower for the malaguismo, which once again demonstrates its enormous mobilization capacity in each important meeting. The precedent of the Cortijo de Torres is still very present. In that promotion play off against Nàstic, thousands of fans filled the venue to accompany Málaga CF from a distance on a night that has already become part of the history of the Martiricos club. It was a collective celebration, a way to live football beyond the stadium and a demonstration that blanquiazul passion also measures up in the street. The measure opens up the debate again about the place occupied by fans in modern football. Because while clubs sell emotion, belonging and community, decisions like this prevent precisely that community from coming together around a decisive match. Málaga CF plays a lot on the pitch, but its people also wanted to play it their way: together, in the street and feeling part of something bigger. It's supposed to be a football for and by fans. But, once again, the decision is made without thinking about them at all.
