“The VCF Academy is the best place to learn and improve”

“It has been our second experience here and we are very happy. Valencia is the best place to learn and improve because everyone has a very open mind and the methodology to guide them in the best way for the future of their careers.” This is how emphatically Gabor Täkacs, director of Dinamo Star SE Powered by Valencia CF, the Hungarian club of which Valencia CF is a technical partner, expresses it.

In recent weeks, a large group of players from Dinamo Star SE Powered by Valencia CF have enjoyed a Training Experience with training sessions with the VCF Academy coaches, matches against Valencia CF teams and Escoles VCF clubs, as well as specific goalkeeper training.

“It has been one of the best experiences of my life,” explains Balint Darius. “I had a great time and these have been the best 5 days of my life, learning and improving a lot,” says the young Budapest-based player, who, in addition to training and matches, also enjoyed the Amunt Experience at Mestalla, the stadium with the most history in LALIGA.

“I have very good memories of Valencia because last summer we won the VCF Academy World Cup and I am very happy about that and about being here with my friends and teammates,” also recalls David Rokob: the young Hungarian player who also scored in the VCF Academy World Cup final.

This year, Dinamo Star SE Powered by Valencia CF will once again take part in the VCF Academy World Cup, which in its fifth edition will once again bring together participants from the VCF Academy Programs from all corners of the world.

“The VCF Academy World Cup is very special because we were able to connect with the other partners of the club, the kids made friends from other countries… and we won it. Hopefully this year we can win it again, but the most important thing for us is to enjoy it, make friends and get to know Valencia CF more,” concludes Gabor.

Dinamo Star SE is a club based in Budapest, on the banks of the Danube, and has nearly a hundred boys and girls aged between 8 and 16 at its facilities.

This Training Experience at Valencia CF’s Ciudad Deportiva is complemented by the follow-up and monitoring of the project with visits by VCF Academy coaches to Dinamo Star SE’s facilities in Budapest, VCF Camps in Budapest, as well as the presence of coaches from the Hungarian club at different training events such as the VCF Academy Coaches Convention.

The VCF Academy Programs have been spreading the Valencia CF brand around the world for more than 20 years. Each season, more than 5,000 children from over 50 countries take part in one of the different programs that make up this project.

Valencia CF currently has VCF Academies in Mexico, the USA, Canada, Greece, Cyprus, South Korea and Australia, as well as permanent projects in England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy or Malta, Saudi Arabia, Hungary or Serbia, among others, in addition to the VCF Camps held across the five continents.
