Valencia CF and the VCF Foundation continue to support different NGOs, associations and Valencian entities through the ‘ADN Mestalla Solidari’ campaign, recognising their important work and providing them with visibility.

Before the derby between Valencia CF and Villarreal CF, INCLIVA (Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria del Hospital Clínico de Valencia) presented its work to those at Mestalla. The institute mainly focuses on four areas of investigation: Cardiovascular; oncology; metabolism and organic damage; and reproductive.

Vicente de Juan, economic director, and Mª del Carmen Gómez, assistant scientific director of INCLIVA, were welcomed at the Sala Juan Sol by the president of Valencia CF, Anil Murthy, the director general of the VCF Foundation, Teo Swee Wei, Valencia CF ambassador, Miguel Ángel Bossio and Villarreal CF representative, Marcos Senna.

INCLIVA thus joins Cruz Roja Juventud, Protección Civil, Fivan, Hogares Comapartidos and Lamna in being invited to Mestalla this season.

In 2020, Valencia CF 'signed' a team of researchers, thanks to the agreement between the VCF Foundation and INCLIVA. These professionals work every day on the frontline of national and international health research, to improve the quality of life for all people. The VCF Foundation have become 'Honourary Ambassadors' of INCLIVA, joining their “Yo apoyo a la investigación” campaign.
