Villarreal CF opens the door for fans to the Levante UD friendly

Villarreal CF has published the process for obtaining free tickets for the friendly against Levante UD, scheduled for August 5 at 10:00 at the Mini Estadi in the Ciudad Deportiva José Manuel Llaneza. The initiative is aimed exclusively at 2026/27 season‑ticket holders, who must download their ticket via the official platform using their ID or Clave Única and the season‑ticket security PIN. Each member can reserve up to two seats per card, provided there is availability. Requests open on July 29 and will stay active until seats are filled. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 3rd in La Liga, 61 pts, 19W-4D-8L from 31 games, recent form WLWDW.

How does the ticket reservation work?

Members must log into the designated platform, enter their identification and the season‑ticket PIN, and select the allocated zone and seat. The downloaded ticket will be the only valid document for entry; the season‑ticket card alone will not be accepted at the gate. No ticket sales will occur on match day at the Ciudad Deportiva ticket office, making prior download mandatory. This measure aims to avoid queues and ensure that members have a confirmed spot in advance.

What does the invitation to Levante UD mean?

Villarreal CF has sent 300 invitations to Levante UD for the club to distribute among its supporters. These invitations will allow Levante fans to attend the match free of charge, subject to the Mini Estadi's capacity limits. The collaboration between the two clubs strengthens a friendly neighborhood relationship and offers supporters a shared pre‑season experience.

Why is this friendly important for the team?

The friendly is part of the testing phase that coach Iñigo Pérez has scheduled before the official campaign begins. With the squad already having scored 56 goals and conceded 36 this season, the team seeks to fine‑tune its attacking and defensive play. Moreover, several key players remain sidelined, including Ayoze Pérez, Willy Kambwala, Denis Suárez Fernández, Diego Conde and Gerard Moreno, giving substitutes a chance to earn minutes and prove their worth.

What comes after the friendly?

Following the August 5 match, Villarreal CF will continue its preparation with additional exhibition games and intensive training sessions. Management is already assessing fans' response to the ticket‑download process, intending to replicate the model for future events. Supporters can expect more official communications as league and Copa del Rey fixtures approach.
