Thierry sets off the excitement at the VCF Academy World Cup  

Excitement with Thierry Rendall among the 200 players currently living the VCF Academy World Cup experience in Valencia — the U12 tournament that brings together teams from the VCF Academy Programs of America, Asia and Europe at the Valencia CF Ciudad Deportiva.

The Valencia CF player wanted to share a heartwarming moment with the young players, who did not miss the chance to take photos and greet the Valencia full-back, who is in the final stage of his recovery from the injury that kept him off the pitch for several months last season.

With the energy of feeling his return closer and the support of the young players arriving from Canada, the USA, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Cyprus, Hungary, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, Thierry continues working hard to return to action as soon as possible.

The VCF Academy World Cup kicks off this Friday at the Valencia CF Ciudad Deportiva with the presence of more than 200 U12 players from different VCF Academy Programs across America, Asia and Europe.

Over the course of three days, players and their families will enjoy a tournament that brings together a representation of the great Valencia CF family, united by the philosophy of Sentiment, Valentia i Germanor across all corners of the world.

The VCF Academy World Cup is part of the VCF Academy Programs which, along with the various VCF Academies across America, Asia and Europe, the VCF Camps held by Valencia CF around the world, the Training Experiences at the Ciudad Deportiva and many other initiatives, help spread the Club's brand worldwide.

Each season, more than 5,000 children from over 50 countries take part in the different activities that make up the VCF Academy Programs.
