A new piece of history at the Mestalla Forever Tour

This is the model of the stadium renovation project prior to World Cup 82

The Mestalla Forever Tour has a new piece on display, specifically on the top floor of the Mestalla VIP Box, which turns 100 years old on May 20, 2023.

It is the model of the stadium renovation project, then Luis Casanova, from the late 70s and aimed at preparing the pitch to meet the conditions required for the 82 World Cup held in Spain.
 

Now, the piece, recovered by the collector Pepe Roca and donated by him to the Club, has been restored by the Heritage Restoration Institute of the Universitat Politècncia de València in collaboration with the VCF Foundation's Patrimonial Department - VCF Museum.

Thanks to the joint work of all parties, an important piece has been recovered for the enjoyment of all Valencians.
