Valencia CF to display special badge in second leg against Athletic Club

Valencia CF will wear their traditional 'blanquinegre' white and black kit for Wednesday's Copa del Rey game against Athletic Club, with the addition of a special detail in the centre of the shirt. On their chests, the players will display the 'ADN VCF' (VCF DNA) logo that represents the club's claim for the 2021/22 season.

The 'ADN VCF' campaign has highlighted the different initiatives and actions carried out by the club, as well as the identity and values that have been established over the past 100+ years

The Copa has had a major role in Valencia CF history. The club have won this trophy eight times, and it is their most successful competition. The format of a knockout tournament, with every game of the utmost importance, has also forged 'do or die' values.

Since the first cup win in 1941, Valencia CF have had a special relationship with the competition. Beyond the trophies won, the team have experienced magical nights, many of them at home. The win against Real Madrid in 1999, the epic victory against FC Barcelona in 2008 and the hard-fought triumph against Real Betis in 2019 are some of the examples of this special link between Valencia CF, the Copa del Rey and Mestalla.
