Ninot presented to Sevilla FC president

Valencia CF president Anil Murthy handed over the latest commemorative Ninot figurine to Sevilla FC president José Castro before the two sides met at Mestalla on Matchday 15.

Previous recipients of commemorative Ninots this season are SD Huesca, Real Betis, Getafe CF, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club, Terrassa FC and FC Barcelona. 

The figurine, part of the 'Sempre Falles' initiative to help local artists, was designed by José Manuel Feliu Samper and Fátima Graballú Sánchez.

Titled ‘Hermanamiento’ ('Twinning'), it features two monuments emblematic in their respective cities: The Torres de Serrano towers from Valencia and the Giralda de Sevilla. The Ninots wear clothing characteristic of both Valencia and Seville, with the 'fallerita' outfit for the home side and a flamenco dancer for the visitors, plus the respective team kits. 

The 'Sempre Falles' initiative is part of the 'Sempre Valencia' campaign run by the club alongside the Ayuntamiento, which has the objective of helping Valencian society from a health, economic and social perspective.
