On September 10th and 11th the General Assembly of the ECA was held in Split, Croatia, where topics such as the future format of European competitions, the application of the VAR etc. have been discussed.

We wanted to take advantage of the trip to renew the agreement we have with Villarreal CF. This time he was able to attend, representing his Club, the CEO  of the entity, Fernando Roig Negueroles.

As a result of this agreement, last season most of our coaches were able to spend a few days in the sports city of Villarreal CF where they worked with their coaches and saw how the day-to-day work of this great Club is.

Some coaches from their grassroots school, one of the best in Spain with great sporting results and an innovative methodology, came to Andorra to meet our staff and our boys and girls from the football school, they made talks and trainings what was a great experience for young footballers.

The agreement between Villarreal and Vallbanc FC Santa Coloma initially had a duration of one year and now becomes indefinite, step by step we will continue to develop it  because it’s an open and flexible agreement to the needs or proposals that may arise from the Two parts.

This season our coaches will go again to Villarreal to continue their training and our grassroots will also be able to see some first team match, train or play with one of their base teams etc. Their coaches will also return to Andorra to work with our boys and girls and see their evolution and their level.

Now that the season begins, together with its base football directors, we will develop these ideas and new projects.

Once again we are very proud that a club like Villarreal continues to trust us and continue betting and believing in the development and growth of Andorran football.
