The legacy of Torino Red

Valencia CF and PUMA have officially unveiled the team's 2026/27 home kit, which will be worn in the last season at Mestalla before the move to the new stadium.The new home kit pays homage to the club's identity and legacy, celebrating the enduring presence of Mestalla by combining the two most recurring colours in club history: White, which has been associated with Valencia CF since its founding in 1919, and Torino Red, the most frequently used alternative colour.The combination is the main innovation of a kit destined to occupy a special place in Valencia CF history.

THE FIRST KNOWN USE

The first reference known to the Historical Heritage Department at the VCF Foundation dates back to March 4th, 1928, on the occasion of a cup match between Valencia FC and Sevilla FC. In those days, the home team changed their colours as a sign of courtesy as the host side, instead of the visiting team.
