Baraja: "tHE TEAM kePT going AND COMPETED UNTIL THE END"
The Valencia CF coach talks after the 2-2 result against Deportivo Alavés
This Friday, the Ciudad Deportiva celebrates 29 years since it's official inauguration. From it's opening in 1992, the training ground and home to the VCF Academy has produced a constant stream of talent for the first team: Some 101 young players have represented a Valencia CF youth team before making an appearance in official competition for the senior squad.
A further 50+ players have come up through the youth ranks at the club -training daily at the Ciudad Deportiva- to debut in the Primera Division for other teams. The VCF Academy's contribution to elite football has meant that the CIES Football Observatory has ranked it inside the Top 5 best in Europe in it's last two annual reports.
The aim when creating the Ciudad Deportiva was to provide adequate top level professional facilities for first team training sessions, as well as to host and teach young players. It followed on from the initial project that the club carried out in the mid-1970s with the purchase of land for training pitches.
The Ciudad Deportiva has expanded and updated its facilities in the intervening years, with pitches, a medical clinic, dining area, study rooms, leisure areas, a gym and more. Over 500 people currently reside, train or work there, as the club continue to produce stars of the future.
