Today the XI Juan Villalba Memorial will take place, a junior soccer tournament that will bring together several teams from the Marina Alta. The event will take place at football field Rodat and pays tribute to Juan Villalba, who was manager of the Dénia Base Football School for more than a decade.
The tournament celebrates Villalba's dedication and legacy in the development of youth football in Dénia. Teams from various locations in the Marina Alta will compete to highlight the values of sportsmanship and teamwork that Villalba promoted during his administration.
The Memorial not only serves as a platform for young footballers to demonstrate their skills, but also as a reminder of the positive impact that Juan Villalba had on the lives of many of them and on the sport of Dénia.
