VILLARREAL HISTORY

Villarreal are situated in Vila-genuine, a town of 51,000 tenants in the area of Castellon, and played in the territorial and lower Leagues of Spanish football in the wake of being established in 1923 by a governing body 'keeping in mind the end goal to advance all games and particularly football'.

In the outcome of the Spanish Civil War, the club spent a very long while in La Tercera before achieving the second level in the mid 1970s, yet following a concise two-year stay returned there until the 1992-93 season. Advancement to La Primera was in the long run accomplished in 1998 and while assignment took after a year, Villarreal ricocheted back quickly under Paquito Garcia Gomez following a third place wrap up.

Albeit relative newcomers to the huge stage, Villarreal delighted in ensuing achievement in both European and local football, achieving the last four of the UEFA Cup in 2004 and going ahead to the Champions League semi-finals in 2006, where they were thumped out by Arsenal.

In 2008 the Yellow Submarine completed as Primera Division sprinters up under their best Coach, Manuel Pellegrini, and the next year again missed out to Arsenal in the Champions League, this time in the quarter-finals.
