Tribute to a decade of the team with intellectual disabilities
This season, the tribute to a decade at Villarreal CF was marked by the important presence of 12 players from the team with intellectual disabilities (EDI). The programme celebrated ten years of existence this season after being integrated into the club’s sporting structure in the 2015/16 campaign, being one of the pioneering teams in Spanish football in promoting the sporting activity of this group with intellectual disabilities.
