Valencia CF Mestalla will face GNK Dinamo Zagreb in the quarter-finals of the Premier League International Cup 2025–26 in a single-match knockout tie.

The draw, held after the group stage, paired the Valencia reserve team with the Croatian side in the only quarter-final without British representation.

The match will take place on Wednesday, 15 April, kicking off at 20:00 (19:00 local time) at EBB Stadium, the home ground of Aldershot Town FC, which has a capacity of 7,500 spectators. 

The team managed by Miguel Ángel Angulo reached the knockout stage after finishing second in Group B. After a narrow defeat in the opening match against Fulham FC (3–2), the Valencia CF Mestalla side put together three consecutive wins against Leicester City FC (1–3), Crystal Palace FC (0–1) and West Bromwich Albion FC (1–2), finishing the group stage with 9 points. 

Valencia CF Mestalla also reached the quarter-finals of the Premier League International Cup in the previous edition, where they were eliminated by Olympique Lyonnais.

Four editions ago, the Valencian reserve side went even further and reached the semi-finals, where only a penalty shootout prevented them from advancing to the final. 

For their part, GNK Dinamo Zagreb reached the quarter-finals after defeating Nottingham Forest (0–1), Chelsea FC (1–2) and Newcastle United FC (0–3), and losing to Brighton & Hove Albion FC (2–0), finishing second in Group C.

The tie will be played as a single-match knockout at a neutral venue determined by the organizers, as no British team is involved in the matchup in the Premier League International Cup.
