Mestalla roar to target the directors’ box as Valencia fans plan protest | OneFootball

Valencia host Barcelona on Sunday with Mestalla set to be packed, as supporters prepare to both back the team and protest against the hierarchy.

The club has sold out the general allocation, with only seats released by season-ticket holders available. According to AS, attendance is expected to top the openings against Celta and Betis.

Curva Nord, the group that drives the singing section, said after a members’ vote that they will remain outside until minute 19. The move aims to make a visible empty stand during a high-profile game in protest at Meriton Holdings’ management of Valencia.

Frustration with Peter Lim’s stewardship has intensified with the closure of the summer window, which the fanbase views as insufficient after seasons spent fending off relegation.

In a separate call, LibertadVCF urged a mass in-game demonstration directed at the directors’ box. Its message pressed Valencianistas to believe in their collective strength and to roar with the force of a Champions League semi-final, this time channelling that noise squarely at the box.
