Valencia CF, Puçol City Council and the Diputació de València present Pepe Claramunt’s book

On the afternoon of this Thursday, April 23, 2026 -International Book Day-, the biographical book of the Valencia CF legend was presented at the ‘Estadi Pepe Claramunt’ in Puçol. During this ‘Claramunt Year’, tribute is paid to the former Valencia CF footballer in recognition of his great legacy at the Club.

The event was attended by Pepe Claramunt himself, Ricardo Arias -Valencia CF ambassador-, Vicente Guillot -honorary president of the VCF Footballers Association-, José Vicente Forment -Valencia CF's legend-, Paz Carceller -mayor of Puçol and provincial deputy-, José María Esteve -Councillor for Culture-, Pepa Deogracia -Councillor for Sports- and José Ignacio Pastor Claramunt -UD Puçol president-, together with young footballers from UD Puçol.

Pepe Claramunt has undoubtedly been one of the most important players in the history of Valencia CF. Valencian, captain, international, undisputed starter and one of the best midfielders at Mestalla and in national and international football. He wore the Valencia CF jersey for twelve seasons, making nearly 450 appearances and scoring 90 goals, as well as winning the Copa in 1967 and the spectacular league title in the 1970-71 season.

At international level, he made his debut for the Spain senior national team at just 22 years old, and such was his level that he became the first Valencian captain of ‘La Roja’. He played 23 matches and scored 4 goals.
