.............................. Valencia Football Club
Logo and Trademark..............................
Valencia Club de Fútbol (also known as Valencia or Los Che) are a Spanish professional football club based in Valencia. They play in La Liga and are one of the most successful clubs in Spanish football. Valencia have won six La Liga titles, six Copa del Rey trophies, three UEFA Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and two UEFA Super Cups. They have also been UEFA Champions League final runners-up on two different occasions in 2000 and 2001, losing to La Liga rivals Real Madrid in 2000 and German club Bayern Munich in 2001. Valencia are also members of the G-14 group of leading European football clubs. Valencia were founded in 1919, and have played their home games at the 53,311-seater Estadio Mestalla since 1923. They are soon to move into the 75,000-seater Nou Mestalla in the north-west portion of the city in 2009. Valencia have a long-standing rivalry with Levante, also located in Valencia, and with another club in the Valencian Community region, Villarreal.
Valencia is the third most popular football team in Spain (5,3), only behind Real Madrid (38,2) and FC Barcelona (25,7). It is also one of the biggest clubs in the world in terms of number of associates (registered paying supporters), with more than 45,000. Valencia played its first years at the Algirós stadium but moved to the Estadio Mestalla in 1923. In the 1950s, Mestalla was restructured, which resulted in a capacity increase to 45,000 spectators. Today it holds 53,000 seats. However, Valencia is scheduled to move to a new stadium in the north-west of the city Valencia in 2009. The Nou Mestalla, as it will be called, will hold around 75,000 spectators and will be given a 5 star status by FIFA (as its design is specifically built to attain that ranking).
Valencia and the Balears were conquered by King Jaume I of Catalunya and Aragon during the first half of the 13th century. After the conquest the king gave them the status of independent kingdoms of whom he was also the king (but they were independent of Catalan or Aragonese laws and institutions). The arms of Valencia show those of Jaume I, as Count of Barcelona and king of Aragon.
The unique crowned letters L besides the shield were granted by King Jaume. The reason for the letters was that the city had been loyal twice to the King, hence twice a letter L and a crown for the king.
There are several possible explanations for the bat and the subsequent nicknaming of Valencia as "Los Che"; one is that bats are simply quite common in the area. The second theory is that on October 9th, 1238, when Jaume I was about to enter the city, re-conquering it from the Moors, one bat landed on the top of his flag, and he interpreted it as a good sign. As he conquered the city, the bat was added to the arms.
