The Submarine’s U13s team will face Sevilla, Liverpool and Espanyol in the group stage
Villarreal’s youth players will once again take part in a great event that they will remember for the rest of their lives. The XXVI LaLiga Promises Internacional tournament starts tomorrow in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. The best teams will be on the island for three days, with the Yellows U13s being drawn alongside Sevilla, Liverpool and Espanyol in the group stage.
The team coached by Fernando Rueda and Carlos Bou will have to adapt to 7-a-side football in the format of this competition after playing in the 11-a-side league all season and coming from the 8-a-side league in the Region of Valencia, unlike the early stages in other autonomous communities, such as the Canary Islands themselves, where only seven players from each team are on the pitch.

These are the kick-off times for Villarreal in the tournament:
- Sevilla FC vs Villarreal CF (Tuesday 27th December, 1pm CET)
- RCD Espanyol vs Villarreal CF (Tuesday 27th December, 6pm CET)
- Liverpool FC vs Villarreal CF (Wednesday 28th December, 11:30am CET)
