Description:
Villarreal Club de Fútbol was founded on October 3, 1923. Villareal (or Villa-Real in Valencian) is a small town in the province of Castellon, on the Mediterranean coast of Spain between Barcelona and Valencia. Villarreal reached the top tier of Spanish football for the first time in 1998 and were promptly relegated. They returned at the first attempt and have remained ever since, even reaching the Champions League semifinals in 2006 and finishing second in La Liga in 2007-08. The submarino amarillo nickname is a tribute to the club's yellow jerseys and of course the classic by The Beatles "Yellow Submarine".
