Sofía Arcos (1.80 meters, 23 years old), a product of the club’s youth academy, returns to Unicaja Mijas after playing a key role in Maristas Coruña’s promotion to the Liga Femenina Challenge. The Málaga-born power forward, who played for the club until 2022, has just had her best season yet, averaging 16.1 efficiency points.
The Basketball Champions League is headed into its 11th season, starting with the Qualification Round Tournaments and Regular Season draw on Wednesday. Unicaja is included in Pot 1 and country protection applies to the Regular Season stage of the Draw, meaning that clubs cannot be drawn in the same group with another club from their country.
Sofía Galerón will play her third season in Málaga after helping the Los Guindos team reach the LF Challenge promotion round two years in a row. The power forward has delivered standout performances this season, such as the 26 efficiency points she recorded against CB Santfeliuenc, which earned her a spot on the All-Match Team for Week 19.
The Málaga-born coach will continue to lead the Martín Urbano squad during the 2026–27 season. This will be his third consecutive season at the helm of the club’s women’s first team, after guiding Unicaja Mijas to two consecutive promotion playoffs for the Liga Femenina Endesa.
The Unicaja Máster veterans’ association, which fielded five teams at the FIMBA Maxibasketball European Championship held from June 26 to July 5, won two bronze medals in the women’s +50 and men’s +65 categories. Congratulations!
