The Estepona City Council informs that the renowned sports journalist and writer Alfredo Relaño will participate in a new literary event organized by the Library of Contemporary Cultures on the occasion of the presentation of his latest book, ‘366 footballers of all time who have made history’.

The meeting will be held next Friday, June 5, at 8:00 p.m. in the Concert Hall of the Mirador del Carmen Cultural Center. Admission will be free until full capacity is reached.

In this publication, Relaño takes a look at some of the most outstanding players who have marked the history of world soccer, combining anecdotes, analysis and historical references from the point of view of one of the most influential sports journalists in Spain.

Born in Madrid in 1951, Alfredo Relaño began his studies at the Escuela Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos and the Faculty of Law before devoting himself fully to journalism. He graduated from the Official School of Journalism in Madrid and began his professional career at the daily Marca, which he combined with his work as a correspondent for Mundo Deportivo in Barcelona. He later worked at Pueblo and Arriba, until he joined the founding editorial staff of El País in 1976.

In 1987 he was appointed sports director of the SER channel and, two years later, sports director of Canal+. In 1996 he took over the management of the newspaper As, a position he held for 23 years. After leaving the newspaper’s management, he continued to be linked to the media as a columnist and contributor to El País and SER.

He is the author of titles such as Futbolcedario, El fútbol contado con sencillez, Tantos Mundiales, tantas historias, Memorias en blanco y negro and El último minuto, as well as co-author, together with Enrique Ortego, of Gracias, Vieja, an authorized biography of Alfredo Di Stéfano. He has also published in Espasa works such as Nacidos para incordiarse, 366 historias del fútbol mundial que deberías conocer, 366 (y más) historias de los Juegos Olímpicos que deberías conocer and Pequeña historia de los Juegos Olímpicos.

In September 2025 he concluded his professional career with the PRISA group after 49 years at the company. He currently writes a column for Marca, contributes to El Mundo and participates as a talk show host on COPE sports broadcasts and on the nightly program El Partidazo.

With this activity, the Estepona City Council continues to promote a diverse and quality cultural program, bringing the public closer to leading figures in the national literary and journalistic field.
