Fan Story: Paco Barbiñana, passion for Valencia CF from Elche

Paco lives in Elche, but that has not been an obstacle for him to become a devoted Valencia CF fan. His passion began at a young age when he discovered Valencia CF and became a passionate fan.  

“From a young age, due to his condition, his father used to bring him to Valencia to see specialists, explains, Iñaki Berbel, Paco’s brother in law.  

They are used to going to the Martínez Valero whenever Valencia CF play away at Elche CF and this time around, it was even more special than usual. He came across our ambassadors Ricardo Arias and Miguel Bossio who made it possible for him to meet the players and the coaching staff of Valencia CF. 

José Bordalás had a nice gesture and besides having a photo taken with Paco he gifted him a Valencia CF shirt. A special day that he will never forget.
