CF Valencia

The idea of playing football in Valencia came about in a bar called Bar Torino in the centre of the capital Turia in 1919. The clubs first president of Valencia Football Club was Octavio Augusto Milego Diaz. It was chosen by chance: a currency sent to the air served to decide between him and Gonzalo Medina Pernás, who finally remained with the parcel of the constituent commission and festejos.

The home of the club was a small establishment on a Barcelonina street. With the club being lead by Milego, Medina, Paschal and Julio Gasco, Andres Bonilla, Jose Llorca, Fernando Marzal and Adolph Moya.
Before the creation of Valencia Football Club football already existed here, even though there was no club. For you would see British sailors in the port playing with a ball. And in 1908 in Valencia the equipment like Levante, Gymnastic, Hispanic Hispania was used and this made up the club, the first party was disputed by the Valencia as it was in other people’s land.

The club celebrated the formation in Castellon on the 21st May 1919 and a rivalry quickly formed between Valencia and Gymnastic the Valencian.
