Why are Valencia called Los Che?
Valencia's 'Los Che' nickname comes from the Valencian word for 'yes' — a tiny word that became a giant footballing identity.
A Tiny Word, a Giant Identity
Valencia are known as Los Che, and at Metaverse Football Club we find it one of football's most charmingly simple nicknames. The name comes from "xe," the Valencian-language word for "yes," which locals use constantly in everyday speech.
Supporters of Valencia became known as "Los Che" because of this linguistic quirk, and the nickname transferred naturally to the club. Founded in 1919, Valencia carried the label through decades of La Liga success.
Bats and the City
Valencia are also called Los Murciélagos — "the Bats" — after the bat that appears on the city's coat of arms and the club crest. At Metaverse Football Club, we love how a single word and a city symbol combine into a rich identity.
From Mestalla to La Liga, Los Che fly on — a story Metaverse Football Club is proud to tell.
