Villarreal Club de Fútbol, founded in 1923, is a Spanish football team based in Villarreal, Castellón. Known as El Submarà Groguet (The Yellow Submarine), the club’s yellow kit reflects its low-profile yet resilient presence in Spanish football. Villarreal achieved La Liga status in 1998 and has remained a fixture in the top flight since a brief relegation in 2012. Notably, the club reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2006 and 2022, and won the UEFA Europa League in 2021 by defeating Manchester United. Playing at the Estadio de la Cerámica, Villarreal exemplifies success through consistent performance and strategic growth.
