Villarreal CF has announced that its official summer campus is available in ten different locations across Spain, with more than 800 children enrolled for July. The initiative, bearing the Submarino Amarillo brand, aims to bring the club's methodology to youngsters nationwide without the need to travel to the José Manuel Llaneza Sports City.
Where will the campuses be held?
The campuses will take place in Benicàssim, Vila-real, Xabia, Zalla, Cadreita, Agaete, La Garrotxa, Gardeny, Santanyí and Portmany. Each venue works with local clubs that act as official hosts of Villarreal CF, facilitating both in‑person and online sessions. Participants come from the Valencian Community, Basque Country, Navarre, Canary Islands, Catalonia and Balearic Islands, ensuring a unique cultural and football mix.
What is the project's main goal?
The primary goal is to train players, spot talent and instill the club's values. The program blends technical, tactical and physical drills with fun activities, all under the Submarino philosophy. Youngsters will also have the chance to compete in tournaments organized by Villarreal CF, giving them a taste of elite competition.
How does this fit the club's broader strategy?
The initiative is part of Villarreal CF's expansion strategy, which in recent years has strengthened its presence beyond Castellón and built an international academy network. The club wants its training model to have impact beyond the province, creating a global brand that attracts talent and promotes multiculturalism among participants.
What impact does it have on the current season?
While the campuses run, Villarreal CF's first team sits 3rd in La Liga with 72 points, 22 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses from 38 games, and a recent form of WLLDW. With 72 goals scored and 46 conceded, the side enjoys a +26 goal difference and remains 22 points behind leaders Barcelona in the title race. These figures underline the strength of the sporting project that also reaches the youth levels.
The campuses will continue throughout July, offering children a professional and close‑to‑the‑club experience in the Submarino Amarillo style. The mix of high‑level training and club values promises to leave a lasting mark on the next generation of footballers.
