Key details
The Ciutat Esportiva ‘Pamesa Cerámica’ in Vila-real will host the second male youth training session of the 2025/26 season organized by the Selecció Valenciana de fútbol for players from the province of Castellón. Scheduled for December 2, this session will see 44 young players from various Castellón clubs participate under the direction of coach Raúl Tena. This training follows a previous session held on November 12 in El Verger for Alicante's provincial team, continuing the federation's development efforts for male youth soccer in the region.
This event occurs amid a broader national context of unprecedented public investment in sports. José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, president of the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD), recently highlighted in the Spanish Senate that since 2018, over €2.1 billion have been invested to modernize sports facilities, promote rural sports, and support federations. With €300 million allocated for sports recovery post-COVID-19, the government aims to foster sports accessibility and professionalization across all Autonomous Communities, including Valencia.
The Valencian youth training session exemplifies grassroots football development benefiting from these sustained investments. As Spain continues to enhance sports governance, infrastructure, and equality in sports funding, regional initiatives like the Selecció Valenciana's training sessions play a vital role in nurturing future talent and strengthening the country's football ecosystem.
