For a town of around 50,000 people, you sure can play (and watch) a lot of football in Vila-real. It's not just the first team (Villarreal CF), not just the B and C teams, but there are all the youth teams, and there are hordes of 'em....so much so that we even have a 'partnership' with a youth club, CD Roda, who field all sorts of youth teams as well. More than 2000 youngsters in 40 teams all told.
And now, those CD Roda teams have a place to call their own, the Pamesa Ceramics Sports City. It has three 11-a-side pitches and a smaller 8-a-side pitch, two stands, and a two-story building (covered in ceramic tile, of course!) which is solar-powered and has all sorts of facilities including medical facilities and changing rooms. And the fields are watered by graywater. Pretty cool!!
The fields will get a lot of use right away, with ten youth matches, from pre-benjamin to Juvenil B, scheduled to take place there this weekend. Endavant!
