Valencia CF, LaLiga and NGO Bloomsbury Football to support grassroots football in London

Valencia CF, through the VCF Foundation, is one of the clubs participating in the corporate social responsibility action that LaLiga and the NGO Bloomsbury Football are carrying out in London.

Bloomsbury Football is a non-profit organisation based in the UK capital, which uses the power of football to transform the lives of young people. In fact, the NGO's grassroots football initiatives reach more than 5,000 beneficiaries a week.

The VCF Foundation donated VCF kits to dress one of the teams in the "LaLiga x Bloomsbury Football League", who are currently sitting at the top of a social league that kicked off in November 2022 and in which 12 clubs are playing.

Founded in 2018, Bloomsbury Football's philosophy is based on three pillars: access to regular, high-quality football coaching improves physical and mental health, builds stronger communities and teaches young people valuable life skills. Through this strategic partnership with Bloomsbury, which will last several seasons, LaLiga and their clubs support grassroots football in London and the continued development of the sport in the UK.

LaLiga x Bloomsbury Football League

From November 2022 to June 2023, local players aged 10-13 have the opportunity to wear the colours of many of Spain's most historic and celebrated clubs, competing in league format every weekend, with the help of Bloomsbury Football and LaLiga, through its Foundation, who together provide financial support to 73% of all participating players.

The Spanish clubs participating in the 2022/23 edition of LaLiga x Bloomsbury Football League, each of which has donated teams to the programme, include seven LaLiga Santander teams (Valencia CF, RCD Espanyol, Sevilla FC, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, CA Osasuna and RC Celta) and five other LaLiga SmartBank teams (Deportivo Alavés, CD Tenerife, Real Oviedo, SD Eibar and UD Las Palmas).
