According to Marca, Valencia fan organizations will stage protests at home against Barcelona, with Curva Nord and Libertad VCF planning different approaches.

A poor start to the season and the close of the summer transfer window have triggered fan protests. Some fans plan to enter the stands only at the 19th minute, while others are calling for an atmosphere of noise inside the stadium.

This week, Valencia will face Barcelona at Mestalla Stadium. The match will once again be the focal point for protests against majority shareholder Peter Lim and current club management. Curva Nord and Libertad VCF, two major fan organizations at Valencia, have both announced actions to express their dissatisfaction with the club's current situation, but in different ways.

Behind these demands is not only a poor start for the team in La Liga, with just 1 point from 3 matches, but also the close of a rushed transfer window and a subsequent press conference held by Football CEO Sean Kiley. Kiley defended the club's sporting management at that press conference.

Curva Nord stated that members will remain outside the stands until the 19th minute. The organization said this decision was made after a member vote last week. The group stated that as an expression of dissatisfaction with current club management and the board, members will protest outside the stadium entrance until the 19th minute.

Curva Nord also called on other fans to join the action. In a statement, the organization said: "We invite other fans at Mestalla to join our protest." At the 19th minute, Curva Nord plans to enter the stands collectively and continue cheering for the team during the match. The statement added: "We will enter the stands together to express our dissatisfaction with the club's current situation, and then continue supporting Valencia and backing the team as usual."

On the other hand, Libertad VCF has chosen a different approach. The association does not intend to leave the stadium in the early minutes of the match, but instead plans to turn Mestalla into a center of protest during one of the most heavily covered matches of the season, with Barcelona's visit.

Libertad VCF issued a statement on Friday, criticizing recent remarks by Valencia Football CEO Sean Kiley, viewing them as a "fresh insult" to Valencia fans. The organization believes that the current club leadership prioritizes real estate gains related to the new Mestalla stadium and is calling on authorities to intervene and take "the strongest measures."

The association directly told fans that now "we can really do something" to address the current situation, emphasizing the need to continue applying pressure from the stands. The statement read: "Perhaps it is in our hands to let Mestalla provide one final great push for our club."

Libertad VCF hopes the protest will be clearly visible during the match and is calling for an atmosphere like the one usually seen at the stadium during major European nights. The statement read: "We must roar like we did in the Champions League semifinal. As if this roar determines whether we can score and reach the final." However, the association emphasized that this roar should be directed at the "presidential box" and stated: "Valencia is not theirs. Valencia is ours."
