Special Ninot to be presented to Terrassa FC

Although the 'Sempre Falles' initiative is in theory only applicable to home games at Mestalla, Valencia CF and the Ayuntamiento city council have taken the initiative on the road in the Copa del Rey.

As the game against Terrassa FC on Wednesday night will be played over a single leg, the club have decided to provide a special Christmas gift for their lower league opponents at the Estadi Olimpic. A figurine created by Miguel March, from Alicante, will be handed over to the Catalonian club before kick-off.

The Ninot shows a child playing with a ball on a football pitch wearing a mix of strips, combining the Valencia CF and Terrassa FC kits to represent unity between the two sets of fans.

The design was brought to life with advanced technology such as 3D printing and Co2 laser cutting, adding a modern twist to the tradition of Falles artistry.
