evidence: The Importance of the Villarreal CF International Academies Villarreal CF, a small but exponentially growing fútbol team in La Liga. It is one of the biggest clubs, despite coming from one of the smallest towns. Since their founding in 1923 they have innovatively built or created a stadium (Estadio de la Ceramica), a mascot (Groguet), a wide regional project (Endavant), a Player Development Program, multiple Academies throughout the world, and a family. [...] Currently, there are two different types of academies: official partner academies and affiliated schools. Through this project, Villarreal CF has expanded its brand and the province of Castellón beyond its border, making it known in five different continents. On top of this, Villarreal CF coaches regularly visit all of the academies or schools to educate them on the specific training methods.
