Kiat Lim arrives in Valencia amid fan protests

Kiat Lim, son of major shareholder Peter Lim, has arrived in Valencia via private flight ahead of Valencia CF’s match against FC Barcelona at Mestalla. Lim was met at Manises airport by General Director Javier Solís and proceeded to the team’s concentration hotel.

The visit occurs amid significant tension between the club’s management and its supporters. Fans are expressing dissatisfaction with recent transfer activity and the team’s current standing in the relegation zone. Various supporter groups, including Libertad VCF and Curva Nord, have organized protests, including a planned boycott of stadium entry until the 19th minute of the match to demonstrate rejection of the current ownership.

On the pitch, Valencia CF, managed by Carlos Corberán, seeks to reverse a poor start to the season. The squad faces several absences due to injury or recovery, including Sadiq, Guido, De Haas, and Foulquier.
