Luis Rioja and the new Home kit cause a stir at the Valencia CF Campus 

The Valencia CF winger met with the 200 participants of the first group

The first day of the 2025/26 pre-season was a very special one for Luis Rioja. In addition to the physical and medical tests, as well as the first group training sessions, the Andalusian winger received a warm welcome from the 200 children in the first group of the Valencia CF Campus.

Few could contain themselves as Rioja began walking down the corridor they had prepared for him, and he warmly responded to all the expressions of affection and admiration.

But one of the most special moments of the visit came when the winger revealed the new kit for the 2025/26 season to the campus participants. The children were able to discover all the details of a shirt that pays tribute to the founding colours of Valencia CF, to its Mediterranean heritage, and is conceptually inspired by the elements that shape the culture of Valencia.

A CAMPUS THAT KEEPS ON GROWING

This week marks the first of four weeks of the Valencia CF Summer Campus in a 2025 that continues to break records. A total of 800 players from over 40 countries will gather at the Ciudad Deportiva VCF to learn, enjoy, and build a wealth of unforgettable experiences.
