4/13/2026 – The Fuengirola River Park will be the scene for the first time of an official national Kayak Polo competition. On April 18 and 19, the II National Kayak Polo League Tournament will be held, a sporting event that will bring together nine teams from different parts of Spain in a competition corresponding to the Second Senior Men’s Division.

This was announced this morning by the Sports Councilor of the Fuengirola City Council, Julio Rodríguez, together with Antonio Romero, world under 21 kayak polo champion, who will be the referee of the competition.

“For the first time Fuengirola is going to host an official national kayak polo competition, a sport that is booming, dynamic and very attractive to the public, which combines technique, strategy and spectacle. In our city we also have a leading club such as the DKP Fuengirola-Málaga Club, which works intensely for the growth of this discipline and will also participate in the tournament,” said Rodríguez.

During the two days of competition, attendees will be able to enjoy around thirty high-level matches in a privileged environment, consolidating the River Park as an ideal space for holding aquatic sports events.

The event is organized by the Spanish Canoeing Federation in collaboration with the Fuengirola-Málaga Kayak Polo Club and the Sports Department of the Fuengirola City Council.

The City Council invites both residents and visitors to attend this event and enjoy a growing discipline that has an increasing number of followers throughout Spain.
