Ninot design for game against Deportivo Alavés unveiled

Football returns to Mestalla this Saturday, and with it the 'Sempre Falles' initiative run in the 2020/21 season continues.

For the LaLiga Matchday 32 game against Deportivo Alavés, Valencia CF will present a themed 'Ninot' to the visiting side. This weekend's design is the work of artist Fede Alonso, and features representations of fans of both teams, touching elbows in a nod to the Covid-19 protocols adopted by society.

The initiative, devised in conjunction with the Ayuntamiento de Valencia, has seen away sides receive Ninots at each home game for Valencia CF. It aims to help Fallas artists in the region and beyond, part of the sector most severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
