E. Barrenechea: "We are having a great second half of the season"
The Valencia CF midfielder speaks to VCF Media
VCF Inclusivo begin a new season shortly, and a novelty for the 2021/22 campaign comes with a new kit, provided by the club and Main Partner PUMA and displaying the VCF DNA in LaLiga Genuine games.
The objective of the VCF Inclusive project, which is in its sixth year, is to promote the integral development of its components through football, adapted to their abilities and interests. This is football for everybody.
Valencia CF president, Anil Muthy, said at the event: "With VCF Inclusivo, we want to give everybody who wants to play football and loves Valencia CF the opportunity to be with us. The motto at Mestalla is 'Football is for the brave," and these boys and girls from VCF Inclusivo are very brave. We are going to support them."
In addition, the event was attended by Joey Lim, executive director of the club and patron of the VCF Foundation; Teo Swee Wei, general director of the VCF Foundation; José Iváñez de Lara, PUMA's club partnership coordinator; and Jaume Doménech, Valencia CF's captain.
Iváñez de Lara expressed PUMA's pride and pleasure to be part of a project tied in with the club, commenting that:
"For PUMA, being able to form part of this inclusive social project is a source of pride and a pleasure -even more so when it means working with Valencia CF and the VCF Foundation.
"The experience has been very enriching, and what for others might be seen as an insignificant detail, such as receiving a Valencia CF shirt, generates excitement and motivation to do better. This makes us enormously happy."
The handover of the kits took place at the Antonio Puchades stadium at the Ciudad Deportiva, with 33 VCF Inclusive players and 4 coaches representing the 55 participants and 11 coaching staff members who make up the Blanc, Negre and Taronja teams.
Although Valencia CF, through the VCF Foundation, have been working with this group since the 2011/12 season, VCF Inclusivo was officially founded in 2016/17 and have participated in LaLiga Genuine from the start.
