The FFCV has published Circular No. 11 in which all aspects of this competition, new for the 2022-23 season, are reflected.
“In total there are 163 teams that will compete this year to be the best team in the Valencian Community and for the jackpot: to qualify to play the Generalitat Cup,” said a FFCV statement.
