History
It all started in the year 1919 when two friends were having a drink. They were talking about how sad it was that Valencia did not have their own football club. Then they decided to start their own football club. The two men were very enthusiastic about the whole idea, and this is how Valencia CF was originated. The first game was played in the Algiros stadium. As the club grew bigger and bigger they decided it was time to build a new stadium. In 1923 the Mestalla stadium was opened. At that time it was the biggest stadium of Spain, it had 17.000 seats.
The football club Valencia CF has won many prices during the years:
– 6 times Champion of the Spanish first division
– 7 times Copa del Rey
– 2 times Spanish Super Cup
– 1 time Europacup II
– 3 times UEFA Cup
– 2 times UEFA Super Cup
– 1 time UEFA Intertoto Cup
– 1 time Worldcup
Outfit
The symbol of Valencia CF is a black bat. And so it is for the city itself. The outfit is changed every year. Usually the colors red, yellow and blue are used. In 2013-2014 they played in striped shirts with the colors white, black and orange.
The Stadium
The stadium, “Mestalla” has over 55.000 seats. This stadium is very high and steep. So when you sit high in the stadium, you will still have the feeling that you are quite close to the field. They are working on a new stadium, but the building got some delay due to some problems with the budget. The new stadium is called “Nou Mestalla” and it will have 73.000 seats.
