The VCF Academy Canada enjoys a very special Training Experience in Valencia

VCF Academy Canada has recently completed a very special Training Experience at the Valencia CF Training Ground (Ciutat Esportiva del Valencia CF), where players and coaches had the opportunity to train, play matches, visit Mestalla, and share moments with Valencia CF first-team players and the VCF Women’s team, as well as with several VCF Academy players who are Canadian internationals.

A boys’ and a girls’ team from VCF Academy Canada travelled to Valencia last March to take part in the traditional Training Experience, involving 40 players and staff members from the Valencia CF Academy based in Montreal.

For one week, they were fully integrated into the daily routine of the Valencia CF Academy, taking part in pitch training sessions, specific goalkeeper training, video analysis sessions, and strength and conditioning work in the gym, all supervised by VCF Academy coaches.

“I think this is an excellent place to develop as a player. You have coaches with a great deal of experience in different aspects of the game, and coming to Valencia allows you to gain new knowledge that we can bring back to Canada. It is a great learning experience,” Savren concluded.

At the Ciutat Esportiva del Valencia CF, they also had the chance to meet Santi del Río, a VCF Juvenil B player and Canadian U16 international, as well as Zahra Bains, a Canadian player in the VCF Women’s B team.

The Training Experience also included two visits to Mestalla, where they took part in the “Amunt Experience” on the pitch of LaLiga’s most historic stadium and supported Valencia CF in their victories against Osasuna and Deportivo Alavés.

VCF Academy Canada is one of the VCF Academies that Valencia CF operates in strategic markets across America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

Based in Rigaud, in the Montreal metropolitan area, VCF Academy Canada was founded in 2020 after several years of collaboration with Valencia CF through short-term development programs. Its goal is to provide Canadian players with the opportunity to grow as footballers and as individuals through continuous training based on the methodology and values of the VCF Academy.

Desde sus inicios, el proyecto cuenta con la presencia permanente de entrenadores y entrenadoras de la Academia VCF, quienes lideran y supervisan el desarrollo deportivo de todos los equipos. Además, es la única VCF Academy con un programa residencial propio, abierto a futbolistas de todo Canadá y Estados Unidos.

Más de una década de colaboración ha consolidado un vínculo sólido entre Valencia y Canadá que se materializa cada temporada con la participación de jugadores y técnicos de la VCF Academy Canadá en las VCF Academy Training Experience, la VCF Academy Coaches Convention, la VCF Academy World Cup y el VCF Academy Elite Camp, programas exclusivos para las VCF Academy organizados en la Ciutat Esportiva del Valencia CF, así como los numerosos VCF Camps de verano organizados en diferentes localizaciones canadienses.

Las VCF Soccer Academy con las que la Academia VCF cuenta en mercados estratégicos de Norteamérica, Europa, Asia y Oceanía, los VCF Soccer Camps, las alianzas internacionales, la consultoría técnica o la VCF Academy World Cup forman parte de los VCF Soccer Academy Programs que ayudan a expandir mundialmente la marca Valencia CF y lo que simbolizan sus colores
