After taking part in the 2025 edition, Rivals Academy will return this summer to the Villarreal Yellow Cup Summer, consolidating its presence in one of the leading international grassroots football tournaments.

Born in Valencia, the academy continues to grow through a model focused on the individual and collective development of its players. Its methodology is based on personalized and group training sessions designed to maximize each player’s strengths while improving the key aspects needed for their competitive evolution.

Rivals Academy brings together players from different clubs across the Valencian Community, offering them a complementary environment where they can continue growing and competing beyond the regular dynamics of their own teams. Participation in national and international tournaments has become one of the project’s defining characteristics.

The Valencia-based academy stands out for the competitive and fearless identity of its teams, consistently leaving a strong impression through dynamic, offensive and brave football. Following the experience gained last summer, Rivals approaches this new participation with greater maturity and with the goal of continuing to test itself against some of the top academies and clubs in youth football.

The Villarreal Yellow Cup Summer will once again become the ideal stage for the blue academy to continue gaining high-level experiences in an international environment defined by coexistence, competition and passion for football. All while maintaining intact a philosophy that perfectly defines the project: “This is Rivals family.”
