On December 11, over 15,000 Valencia fans took to the streets to protest against their club’s owner Peter Lim and his leadership of the club. Their plan was to stand up for the ‘dignity of Valencia’ (Per la dignitat del Valencia). Or whatever dignity is still left.
Valencia are one of Spanish football’s most historic clubs, established 102 years ago and the winners of six league titles and eight Copa del Rey honours, as well as playing in two Champions League finals. But in recent years, the club has been embroiled in turmoil, with fans disappointed with the club’s current financial state, the owners’ apathy and issues surrounding a stadium move.
Anger from the fans had been brewing for years, but it reached a new level in 2019 after Valencia had dramatically won the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona but saw their much-adored head coach Marcelino and Sporting Director Mateu Alemany depart. A year later, several of their key players left, including captain Dani Parejo, who lifted the cup the previous year, joining rivals Villarreal.
Valencia expect to be one of Spain’s top clubs, fighting just behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, but they’ve been inconsistent for much of the last decade and mostly uncompetitive during Lim’s ownership of the club.
