Valencia Club de Fútbol is a Spanish professional team based in Valencia, Spain that currently plays in La Liga. Founded on 18 March 1919, the club has a long tradition on and off the pitch and a deep shirt culture that collectors prize. Our Walkouts selection highlights signed football shirts and framed pieces that trace the club’s modern era, blending match provenance with retail rarities and condition notes for display.
The club has called the Mestalla home since 1923 and its honours list features six La Liga titles alongside major cup wins and European success, including a historic UEFA Cup. Valencia’s continental record, back-to-back Champions League finals and domestic cup runs make shirts from key seasons highly sought after; the IFFHS ranking also recognises the club among notable global sides.
Valencia’s identity is tied to names and moments collectors know, from David Villa and Santiago Cañizares to derbies like the Derbi Valenciano at the Mestalla. The club’s runs to consecutive UEFA Champions League finals around 2000 are a touchstone, and the 2003-04 double season underlined a distinct era of shirt designs and supplier transitions that drive interest in both match-worn and retail items.
Anniversary releases matter to buyers and the club marked its centenary in style. Enthusiasts look for release pieces tied to milestone crests and commemorative runs that were limited by geography or production, and the 2019 Centenario remains a key reference for commemorative shirts and associated packaging and proofs.
Specific seasons and fixtures act as magnets, notably the 1999-2001 back-to-back finals period and the decisive 2003-04 black away set linked to UEFA Cup success, each generating demand for player-signed retail and occasional match-issued shirts. Away colourways such as the black 2003-04 kit are chased for that cup link and for rare player-issue variants, while earlier UCL campaigns supply the most collectible match programmes and framed shirts.
Collectors value signed retail pieces as much as match-worn shirts, often seeking early fanshop runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases authenticated by a COA. Provenance notes, witnessed signings and exact photo proof raise interest, and Walkouts lists both signed fanshop shirts and framed limited editions for display, with Free worldwide shipping available for UK buyers and international collectors focused on the Mestalla era and major seasons like 1999-2001 and 2003-04.
