The villa continues to build, advancing a step each day with ambition at the core. The Vilero team has launched a new project, already underway after the Federation confirmed its entry into the top tier of national rugby. Relegation playoff fears are off the table. Guided by Guillem Carrión, the squad is applying lessons learned from last season to avoid painful recalls to the lower division.
With clear objectives and growing support from sponsors, the project led by the new manager is serious and bold. The aim is to transform La Vila into a solid, recognizable team that the fans who fill El Pantano stadium can feel proud of. The new president, Guillem Carrión, spoke first to emphasize gratitude: “I want to give back to the club everything it has given me because it was the path that formed who I am.” A new era begins at Vila Joiosa with big goals aligned with the strong management the club has demonstrated. “We are in a good moment, but there is much more to accomplish,” he said.
La Vila Rugby Club is already collaborating with César Sempere as the new chairman and general manager alongside Guillem Carrión, continuing to position the club as a benchmark and a source of pride for everyone involved.
Following several weeks of review by the Spanish Rugby Federation about an administrative violation attributed to an Alcobendas player, the final ruling placed that club in División de Honor B. This shift altered the overall standings, moving La Vila up one spot and removing the need for playoffs. The first match of those playoffs would have been against Belenos in Avilés. La Vila’s ascent marks its debut in the highest category of Spanish rugby. Moving forward, the club aims to leave the past behind and concentrate on a future built on a more professional structure across all levels, with plans to expand the subcategories and ensure stability for the first team, which secured permanence last season.

The club is shaping its sports plan for a season expected to be less chaotic than the last, following extensive federation discussions in which the silver promotion reached the top division.
La Vila works to bring more fans to El Pantano stadium for every game. The support from Vilero supporters is essential in this new phase of growth. Carrión has a clear vision for the project and moved quickly to establish a Vila that should excite fans from day one. The workload will be substantial, and no corner of the club will be neglected.
