Villarreal B, also known as Villarreal CF B, is the reserve team of Villarreal CF, a prominent football club based in Villarreal, a city in the Castellón province of Spain. The team is commonly referred to as "the Mini Submarine," playing homage to their parent team's nickname "the Yellow Submarine" due to their iconic yellow kits.
Villarreal B competes in the Primera Federación, the third tier of the Spanish football league system. The team plays its home matches at the Ciudad Deportiva Villarreal CF, which has a capacity of around 5,000 spectators. The stadium is part of a larger sports complex that serves as a training ground and academy base for the entire club.
The purpose of Villarreal B is to serve as a stepping stone for young and promising players who aim to break into the first team. The reserve side provides a competitive environment where talents can mature and gain experience before potentially being promoted. As a B team, they cannot play in the same division as the senior squad, and there are restrictions on player eligibility – such as age limits and the number of professional contracts held.
Over the years, Villarreal B has been known for producing and nurturing talented footballers, with a strong emphasis on technical skill and possession-based football that aligns with the philosophy of the senior team. This developmental focus has allowed Villarreal CF to maintain a stable pipeline of talent, with players such as Pau Torres and Samu Chukwueze having progressed through their ranks.
The management of the reserve team often mirrors that of the first team, with a revolving door of up-and-coming coaches who implement a similar style of play. This consistency ensures that transitioning from Villarreal B to the senior team is as seamless as possible for young prospects.
