This 2nd VCF Academy Coaches Convention has raised the level of specialized training to meet the growing demand, following the increase in participants from the first edition in 2024.

This time, the coaches are grouped into two levels based on the specificity of the training offered: VCF Academy Coach Level 1 and VCF Academy Coach Level 2.

In the training sessions for each level, the coaches will receive instruction from various departments of the Valencia CF Academy. They will also participate in a session with former Valencia CF player and coach of VCF Mestalla, Miguel Ángel Angulo, and with the coach of VCF Juvenil A, Óscar Sánchez, to gain a deeper insight into developmental football at the final step before reaching the elite level.

Additionally, there will also be on-field training, including the observation of training sessions for various VCF Academy teams and matches such as VCF Mestalla vs. At. Baleares at the Antonio Puchades Stadium and Valencia CF vs. Real Valladolid at Mestalla.

The II VCF Academy Coaches Convention is part of the VCF Academy Programs, which each season organizes an extensive program of activities in which more than 5000 players and 400 coaches from more than 50 countries around the world participated and were able to learn more about the VCF Academy's playing methodology.
