🏏 Big news from Mallorca Cricket Club
After more than a year of work, mountains of paperwork, and a lot of waiting, cricket has now been officially and legally recognised as a sport in the Balearic Islands 🇪🇸✅
This is a huge milestone and something many people said would never happen.
What this means:
• Cricket is now a recognised sport under Balearic law
• Clubs and players can be properly federated at regional level
• We can access public funding, grants, and institutional support
• Councils and government bodies can now legally support cricket facilities and land
• It unlocks real pathways for juniors, women’s cricket, competitions, and growth across Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza
In short: cricket is no longer “just a group of clubs” here — it’s now a recognised sport with a future.
This belongs to everyone who has played, coached, organised, supported, waited, and believed in cricket on the island.
