Testimony From The Pros
'On behalf of the FA of Norway, I will thank you very much for the way
you served our team during their stay this week.
Everything was excellent: pitches, service,apartments, meals, meeting rooms, etc, etc.
So from Norway to you and your staff in Norwegian: MANGE TUSEN TAKK (Many thousand thanks).'
Svein Rustad - Manager Norwegian National Squad
(after training in La Manga Club in November 2003)
'The creation of a professional football centre was visionary, and I think La Manga Club will soon be better known for football than its golf.'
'All the pitches are superb. It is important for a professional team to be able to train on a number of pitches at the same time without there being any drop in the quality of the surfaces.'
'An absolutely ideal place - the best of all conditions for football needs. The best compliment I can give is that I shall return.'
Bobby Robson - Manager Newcastle United
'The players all seemed to love La Manga. I found myself wishing I could transport it to France.'
'The training ground was perfect... the pitches and the surroundings are ideal - the golf courses looked smashing too.'
Glen Hoddle - Manager England World Cup Squad 1998
'La Manga Club is a paradise for professional footballers and sportsmen in general. The Soccer Centre is very professionally equipped and all five training pitches are very flat, which is essential for all professional football teams.'
'The surroundings are exquisite, the additional sports facilities are superb and the service in the resort is quick, efficient and shows absolute understanding of the needs of professional sportsmen.'
Louis Van Gaal - Former Manager FC Barcelona
'The pitches are immaculate, the climate ideal and the facilities unrivalled. We have found that this is the best possible training location for our professional clubs.'
Boye Skistad - Manager Norwegian Football League Association
'The best football training facility I have seen in Spain and probably in Europe.'
Camacho - Former Spanish National Coach
'The football pitches here are as lush as you'd expect from a team of workers used to producing putting surfaces.'
'The pitches here are cared for by people who know a thing or two about grass. They produce fantastic fairways and championship courses. They know how to produce a fantastic surface.'
Ian Woods - Sky News Reporter
