Hi all,

 

Hope you’re well,

 

There’s only one place to start! That’s with our fantastic U19 side, who are into the finals of the Copa de Campeones after their 3-0 win over Sevilla yesterday. The Copa de Campeones is an U19 tournament featuring all the sides across the country that won their regional league, as they compete to be crowned national champions.

The final is against Real Zaragoza on Saturday at 12pm Spanish time. It will be shown live on paid-for service Footters.com. Good luck, boys, we hope you win it, it would be a fitting end to a great season!

 

It’s not just our U19s who are having huge success at youth level though. With the U23s confirming their place in the promotion play-offs, striker Mario González is aiming high: https://villarrealcf.es/en/news/item/24242-mario-gonzalez-we-want-to-finish-second.

 

Furthermore, we’ve also had representation on the international stage, with Nerea Vicente playing for Spain at the Women’s U17 European Championships. Read about how she’s getting on here: https://villarrealcf.es/en/news/item/24239-nerea-vicente-starring-for-spain-u17s.

 

The men’s first team also have a massive match this weekend, against Eibar (Sunday, 6:30pm Spanish time). Santi Cazorla has stressed the importance of the match, in which a win would see us confirm our place in the top flight of Spanish football next season: https://villarrealcf.es/en/news/item/24246-a-triumph-involving-everyone.
