After almost 85 years of history, RCD Mallorca acquired its own training facilities in 1998 with the opening of the Antonio Asensio Training Ground. Located at Son Bibiloni (an estate within the municipality of Palma, at kilometre 8 on the Sóller road), the complex has become the daily workplace of countless football professionals, from the first team to the Club’s academy sides.

Since its inauguration, the training ground has continued to grow and develop. As well as serving as the Club’s main training base, it has also become the home venue for the academy teams, where they play their competitive fixtures.

In the summer of 2006, a stand with a capacity of around 1,200 spectators was built to accommodate supporters attending matches, and additional pitches with different playing surfaces have gradually been added over the years. Today, the training ground boasts four natural grass pitches and one artificial pitch, and ranks among the finest football training facilities in Europe thanks to the wide range of services and amenities it provides for players, coaching staff, employees, media professionals and supporters alike.

The facilities are complemented by ten spacious and modern changing rooms, four of which are located beneath the main stand. They also include a fully equipped gym used by both the first team and the reserve side, a heated therapeutic pool, hydrotherapy facilities and a sauna. The remaining academy teams also benefit from a separate gym and a medical room, in addition to the facilities already available to the first team.

Adjacent to the main offices and changing rooms is the press conference room, a space regularly used by players for video analysis sessions as well as by members of the media. The room offers all the necessary facilities for more than fifty journalists to work comfortably, including dedicated audio connections for radio and television broadcasters.

In 2016, RCD Mallorca’s ownership opened the Players Lounge, a communal space where players can relax, enjoy the leisure area (featuring video game consoles, a billiards table, televisions and more), and have breakfast or lunch. The building also houses its own kitchen, where daily menus are prepared under the supervision of the Club’s nutritionist to ensure players maintain a balanced diet. In addition, the Players Lounge includes a meeting room available for use by directors, coaches and players.

Overall, the Antonio Asensio Training Ground also provides an ideal environment for clubs and national teams from around the world to hold training camps. Over the years, teams such as Inter Milan, Chelsea, Sevilla FC, Hamburger SV and Helsingborgs IF, as well as the national teams of Germany, Argentina and Northern Ireland, have all chosen to train at the facilities on the Sóller road. The complex has also welcomed world-class players training individually, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Marco Asensio and Kang-In Lee, the latter two returning after the end of their spells at RCD Mallorca, among others.

The training ground has also hosted a number of prestigious youth football tournaments over the years.

Ultimately, every investment made in these facilities has had one clear objective: to provide the very best environment for players—whether established professionals or future talents—so that every aspect of their development is taken care of, allowing them to focus solely on strengthening and enhancing RCD Mallorca’s academy.
