Valencia on the brink: four teams, one win in 17 games, and every section in the drop zone

Valencia CF reaches the international break stuck at the bottom of the table across every professional section. The four teams representing the Mestalla club, in both men's and women's football, have picked up one win in the seventeen matches played this season. If competitions ended today, all of them would be relegated.

• The men's first team is bottom of LaLiga with four points from a possible twenty-one.
• Valencia Mestalla sits 14th in Group 3 of Segunda RFEF with just one point.
• Valencia Women, newly promoted to Liga F, have lost all four league matches.
• The women's reserve team has one draw from three games and shares the bottom places.
• Across the four teams: one win, three draws and fourteen defeats.

The men's first team stares at relegation to the Segunda División

Valencia CF's start to the league season is far removed from what a club of its history demands. With four points from twenty-one available, Rubén Baraja was dismissed and the team now sits in last place in LaLiga. The only bright spot came last week in Vitoria, where the side edged past Alavés with a narrow victory.

That win, however, is an island in the middle of a desert. The rest of the opening run has been defined by defeats that have eroded confidence in the dressing room and exhausted the patience of a fanbase once again looking at the table with fear. The shadow of relegation, which already loomed over the squad last season, is once again hanging over Mestalla.

The reserve side and the women's section trapped in the same spiral

The crisis does not stop at the men's first team. Valencia Mestalla, with a single point, sits 14th in Group 3 of Segunda RFEF and inside the relegation places. The reserve side already went through a difficult campaign marked by the dismissal of Angulo over poor results, and the dynamic has not changed this season.

The women's section is in equally worrying shape. Valencia Women returned to the top flight this summer, but their comeback to Liga F has been painful: four games, four defeats and bottom of the table. Their reserve team is also struggling. Valencia Women B have one draw from three matches and share the bottom places in their group.

The collapse goes far beyond the pitch

The slump in results coexists with a financial situation still held together by pins. The club carries a significant debt and has chained together severance settlements for coaches and executives who have left in recent years. That instability has spilled onto the pitch and infected every section of the club.

Valencia's international reputation has also suffered a sharp decline. The club has dropped out of the UEFA coefficient after seven seasons without competing in Europe. The Valencia that was a Champions League regular and reached continental finals has given way to an institution fighting to avoid relegation on every front.

A long-running trend that keeps getting worse

The fact that all four Valencia teams are in relegation places is not a random accident, but the continuation of a slide that was already visible. Last season, the men's first team flirted with the drop until the final stretch of the campaign under Corberán. Only a late surge prevented a greater disaster.

Meanwhile, Valencia Women were competing in the second division and the men's reserve team sacked their coach midway through the season. Twelve months later, the situation has not improved: it has sharpened and spread to every professional side at the club.

What Valencia need to climb out of intensive care

The Mestalla club faces the coming weeks with an obligation to react before the gap to safety becomes insurmountable. The imminent fixture list for the first team, the room for improvement in the reserve side and the ability of the women's team to open their win account will define a decisive autumn for the future of every section.

Without wins to breathe life into the project and with the ownership showing no signs of a turnaround, the feeling of being stuck is total. Valencia have grown used to living with crisis, but the current picture, with four teams in the drop zone, is the most dramatic in years.

Across the club's four teams, 17 games have been played and only the men's first team has won one, last week in Vitoria. The rest have not tasted victory: one win, three draws and fourteen defeats.
