Valencia

Valencia CF represents one of Spanish football's most prestigious institutions. Founded in 1919, the Valencian club ranks among Spain's most decorated and possesses glorious history. The Che (affectionate Valencian nickname) play at Mestalla, a legendary 55,000-capacity stadium that constitutes one of Spanish football's temples and offers impressive atmosphere during major European encounters.

Valencia's trophy cabinet shines with six Spanish championships, eight Copa del Rey titles, and crucially one UEFA Cup/Europa League. The club experienced its golden age in the early 2000s under Rafa Benítez's direction, reaching two consecutive Champions League finals (2000, 2001). This prosperous period propelled Valencia to the rank of major European force with legendary players like David Villa, David Silva and Gaizka Mendieta.

Valencia embodies Valencian passion with a loyal, demanding supporter base. The club currently traverses a difficult period but continues reconstruction with ambitions to return to the summit. Los Che maintain intense rivalries with Real Madrid, Barcelona and especially Levante in the city derby. The objective is to return to European competitions and perpetuate the tradition of a club that has marked Spanish and continental football history.
