VCF Alevin A set to defend their title at LaLiga FC Futures

VCF Alevín A will take part this upcoming weekend in the 32nd edition of LaLiga FC Futures, a tournament organized by LaLiga and the JRM Foundation that brings together U12 teams (players born in 2013) from all the clubs that have competed in LaLiga EA Sports this season.

The Valencian side arrives at the 2025 edition with the memory of last season, when VCF Alevin A were crowned champions of LaLiga FC Futures after an outstanding tournament that ended with a 3-0 win over Sevilla in the final. The tournament was held at the Estadio de la Cerámica in Villarreal, which will once again host this year’s edition.

That triumph will serve as motivation for the renewed VCF Alevin A squad, led by head coach Nacho Tarín, as they look to compete at the highest level and showcase the identity of the VCF Academy—ranked as the fourth-best academy in Europe for developing players to compete at the elite level, according to the CIES Football Observatory.

In this edition, VCF Alevin A is placed in Group D alongside Atlético de Madrid, Getafe CF, UD Las Palmas, and RCD Mallorca. The group stage features 7-a-side football matches lasting 24 minutes (two halves of 12 minutes each).

The team will make their debut on Friday at 11:30 a.m. against Getafe, followed by matches the same day against UD Las Palmas (5:30 p.m.) and RCD Mallorca (7:00 p.m.). On Saturday, they will close the group stage facing Atlético de Madrid at 12:00 p.m. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Quarterfinals, scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

VCF Alevin A's journey can be followed via the official social media channels of the VCF Academy, which will provide detailed coverage of every match. Additionally, matches played on the main field—including the one against Atlético de Madrid on Saturday at 12:00 p.m., and potential Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and the Final—will be available on VCF Media through the Valencia CF website and app.

VCF Alevin A are the reigning champions of the tournament, with Valencia CF having reached the final six times (2003, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2022, and 2024), lifting the trophy on two occasions (2003 and 2024).
