The players from the Valencia CF Academy now return home after delivering a great performance and enjoying a valuable sporting and cultural experience during their trip to Singapore, where they were also joined by Valencia CF president Kiat Lim, who watched the matches and greeted both teams.

Valencia CF's strong showing at the JSSL Pro 7s in Singapore is further complemented by an outstanding performance from all Academy teams during this Easter break, as they claimed numerous titles and reached the final stages of most of the Football 8 and Football 11 tournaments held across Spain.
