The real deal here is the old football stadium Eduardo Santos, abandoned in recent years due to some infrastructural problem, but home to the glorious Unión Magdalena, the city's team. Unión won the local league once, in the seventies, but was an almost permanent feature on first division. Carlos 'El Pibe' Valderrama, probably the most iconic football player from this land, debuted in professional football wearing the Union jersey. Lots of legends played for Unión, not just El Pibe. And although the team has been in second division for over a decade, the fan base appears unscathed. Passion por Union is still a major trait of Santa Marta's ethos.

Quienes llegan a Santa Marta pueden seguirle el rastro a Carlos Valderrama, uno de los mejores futbolistas de la historia de Colombia, que nació en esta ciudad. Una estatua en honor del ‘Pibe’, como era conocido en sus mejores épocas de jugador con la camiseta número 10 de la selección nacional, se levanta a la entrada del estadio Eduardo Santos.
