Valencia CF is an association football club based in Valencia, Spain, that plays in La Liga. The club was formed in 1919, and played its first competitive match on 21 May 1919, when it lost 1–0 to Valencia Gimnástico. They were promoted to La Liga for the first time in 1931–32, finishing 7th at the first attempt, and have only spent one season (1986–87) outside the top division since then. They are one of the most successful clubs in Spanish football, having won La Liga on six occasions and the Copa del Rey eight times. They also won the Supercopa de España in 1999 and its predecessor, the Copa Eva Duarte, in 1949. They have also had significant success on the European stage, winning the UEFA Cup, and its predecessor the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, on three occasions. In addition to this, they have claimed two UEFA Super Cups, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1980, and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1998. They were defeated finalists in the UEFA Champions League in both 2000 and 2001.
