Foghetecaz) and became the second major center of support for football fans in the province.

Over the decades, Castellón's clubs adopted different structures.

TheC.D. Castellón played at the El Sequiol field until the inauguration of the old Castalia Stadium in 1946, the epicenter of its golden stage in the First Division (1940s). Villarreal C.F.
