Since opening their Ciudad Deportiva training complex in 1992, more than 120 academy graduates have gone on to debut for Valencia’s first team, while dozens more now play across major leagues worldwide.
Among their current crop are several youth internationals, including Alain Gómez, Vicent Abril, and Raúl Jiménez – all of whom featured in this year’s U-20 World Cup in Chile – and Ismail El Aoud, who represented his country at the U-17 World Cup in Qatar.
Following Tuesday’s clash with Los Che, Palace will continue their Group B fixtures against Juventus FC (Wednesday, 12th November, 19:00 GMT) and FC Nordsjælland (Wednesday, 26th November, 19:00 GMT).
