Official statement from Valencia CF
In light of the audio recordings released by SuperDeporte, Valencia CF offers a public statement intended to provide clarity and context.
The audio records depict a dinner held on 27 April with five Valencian business representatives and the VCF Foundation at a restaurant. The event was organized to support the charitable La Nit de València initiative and to discuss related community efforts.
Voices featured in SuperDeporte have been edited and mixed in a manner that may aim to provoke discussion or to present a biased interpretation of a private conversation. The club emphasizes that these edits do not accurately reflect the full context of the dialogue.
SuperDeporte is criticized for engaging in practices that the club views as unethical, including releasing private, illegally recorded material without consent from the VCF President. Valencia CF regards this action as an intrusion into privacy and a misrepresentation of facts.
The publication is viewed by the club as part of a broader smear campaign that has persisted for months. The campaign began after the club declined a proposal from the newspaper, which reportedly sought substantial advertising revenue to support its coverage.
Valencia CF has entrusted its legal team with the matter, reviewing potential steps to respond to SuperDeporte and its management. The club remains committed to lawful and measured actions, prioritizing the best interests of the team, staff, and supporters while ensuring that all communications adhere to established legal standards.
