Ferran Torres, 23rd VCF Academy Hall of Fame member joins the likes of Mendieta, David Silva, Jordi Alba and Isco with the goal-fest that secures qualification to the Euro 2020 last 16 for Spain.

The Spain national team have progressed to the Last 16 of Euro 2020 with a win against Slovakia. Their 5-0 win did not feature Valencia CF captain José Luis Gayà -who is waiting for his chance to help the team out- but a former Valencianista was amongst the scorers.

Hugo Guillamón, the l’Eliana born centre-back, was the latest Valencianista to make his senior debut this same month of June against Lithuania, becoming the fourth-youngest Valencianista player to score for Spain and reasserting the potential of the VCF Academy, currently recognised by the IFFHS as the fifth-highest player productive academy across Europe’s five big leagues.
