Valencia CF, founded on March 18, 1919, and playing at the iconic Mestalla stadium — a 49,000-capacity fortress opened in 1923 and celebrated for its steep terracing and fearsome atmosphere — is one of La Liga's founding pillars and most historically significant clubs. The club won three La Liga titles in the 1940s and experienced their greatest modern era under coaches Héctor Cúper and Rafael Benítez, reaching consecutive Champions League finals in 2000 and 2001 and winning back-to-back La Liga titles in 2002 and 2004 alongside the UEFA Cup. Valencia have produced world-class talent including David Silva, Jordi Alba, and Juan Mata, and their loyal fanbase of over 40,000 season ticket holders attests to the club's deep roots in Valencian culture. A new Nou Mestalla stadium is due for completion in the 2027-28 season.
