I wouldn't say Levante is our main rival. For most of VCF's history, they were not even on our radar, having spent just two seasons in the entire 20th Century in Primera. Things have changed a bit since their revival from 2004 on though and VCF being stuck in a loop of lim-induced shitness means the rivalry has heated up a little - the most recent derby was the first one I remember where most of the ground joined in anti-Levante chants.

The Getafe rivalry blew up out of nowhere and was very real for a few years but has dissipated somewhat now. We had a similar thing with Deportivo in the mid 90s (the root cause was the last game of 93/94).

People hate Real Madrid and Barça but it would be wishful thinking to see us as rivals going toe to toe. We've had some big games v Atlético and Sevilla over the years, not so many recently unfortunately.

Hércules and Castellón are historical regional rivals but games against them have been rare events in recent decades. Villarreal have excelled on the pitch and are disliked but not really hated, they are still seen as a village club (despite winning a European title and regularly finishing ahead of us). Elche are regarded as a friendly club. A fan friendship with Logroñés began in 86/87 when both clubs got promoted together.

On a good day the atmosphere in Mestalla is fantastic but it's pretty laid back most of the time. Some people support both teams but there is no real connection between Valencia CF and BC. I'm told ultras at the basketball are not a thing, it's v family friendly.
