The Yellows Reserves and a number of the club’s internationals were recognised by the local authority

Villarreal CF and a number of its footballers were prize winners in the local Sports Gala, organised by the Vila-real Council’s Servei d’Esports, which took place on Thursday at the municipal concert hall.

Villarreal B were decorated as the best team of the 2017/18 campaign after reaching the final-round of the play-offs for promotion to Segunda. EDI (intellectually disabled team) players Oriol Mezquita and Nerea Gil were recognised as the best disabled players, while those players who featured for a Spanish national team received a special plaque.
