🏆 CFA Quart de les Valls U19 - Promoted to Primera FFCV

A huge milestone for the IDA Valencia project as CFA Quart de les Valls U19 - a squad made up predominantly of IDA Valencia Residency players - has officially secured promotion to Primera FFCV following last weekend’s victory over Atlético Gilet.

With one match still left to play, the team has already earned the points needed to achieve promotion after a season defined by commitment, consistency, and daily hard work on and off the field.

This accomplishment is a reflection of the development environment being built at IDA Valencia, where players compete at a high level while continuing to grow within the Spanish football system.

Congratulations to all players, coaches, and staff involved in a historic season for the program 👏🔥
