SCORE is an English language general sports magazine printed in Madrid, Spain and distributed monthly along the Costa del Sol. The magazine adopts an Anglocentric focus on all sports, offering coverage of the month's top events, as well as a local focus.

In recent editions the magazine has adopted a more humorous slant on the sporting month, including a new strapline 'Sports Entertainment', replacing 'The Best in International and Local Sport'.

The magazine was previously available in Madrid and parts of Bulgaria for a short time.

The magazine has taken major steps in the recent months following a change of ownership, becoming the highest-distributed magazine along the Costa del Sol with a print run exceeding 37,000 copies. It is currently in preparation for a launch into the UK. The UK edition will follow the same format as the current Spanish edition, without the local focus.

The Magazine's Web site www.thescoremagazine.com is currently under-construction.

History

Although originally founded in Madrid, SCORE begun distribution along the Costa del Sol from Issue 7. Ownership of the magazine changed hands in November 2005, upon the magazine's 13th edition. The change in ownership of the magazine heralded a new era for SCORE. The previous Editor, Designer and Production staff all departed, with new recruits installed. The overhaul effectively doubled the size of the work-force at the magazine.

In February 2006 a local newspaper, The Euro Weekly, announced that new ownership of the magazine had ensured an excellent reputation for the magazine across the coastline.
