As the representative of the third-largest city in Spain, Valencia Club de Fútbol could be forgiven for thinking they are overlooked as a Spanish super club. With six La Liga titles, eight Copa del Rey’s and many European trophies to their name, Valencia bring an excellent reputation for developing young talent and great history of success in Europe to the Spanish game.
Founded in 1919, Valencia have played their home games at the 50,000 capacity Mestalla since 1923. The club ranks third in terms of active fanbases in Spain, with 50,000 season-ticket holders and another 20,000 people waiting for a new stadium to be built so they can be accomodated.
The club emerged as a major player in Spanish football in the postwar era of the 1940s. Valencia won its first La Liga titles in 1942, 1944 and 1947 and their first Cope del Rey cups in 1941 and ‘48. However, the club stagnated despite success in the 1970s under the legendary Alfredo di Stefano, Valencia didn’t fulfill their stature as a club until the 2000s.
The club made it to two UEFA Champions League finals only to lose both but did capture five first class titles in the early 00s with two La Liga titles amongst them.
Having experienced some financial difficulties in the early 2010s, and a half-built stadium awaiting completion, Valencia have finally made it back to the UEFA Champions League and look on the brink of another wave of success.
