Valencia Club officially announced that from the 2025-26 season, sunflower seeds will be banned from the Mestalia Stadium.
Valencia official announcement:
This measure is taken to ensure the hygiene of the stands, because throwing sunflower seed shells on the ground will cause hygiene problems, not only will it block the pipeline, but it will also cause various troubles to residents living near the Mestalia Stadium during the cleaning process after each game.
We all like to feel at home at home. Dear Valencia fans, your cooperation is crucial to keeping the environment clean and caring for the venue we share.
