Francisco Almenar Quinzá (27 July 1876 – 7 March 1936) was a Spanish architect and sports leader who served as the 11th president of football club Valencia CF between 1933 and 1936.
[3] He designed several garages in the city, and various residential buildings, such as the Casa Ernesto Ferrer [es], in the town hall square.
[1][3] A lifelong football fan, the surname Almenar appears in some line-ups of Club Hispania Valencia during the 1912–13 season, but it is most likely a different person since Francisco was already 36 at the time.
[7] He was a member of Valencia almost since its foundation, Almenar held the second vice-presidency of the club during the mandate of Facundo Pascual Quilis, who entrusted him with the project for the construction of a new covered stand, as well as the new façade and entrances, which lasted for several months until its inauguration on 23 January 1927.
At the time of his death, Francisco Almenar was dean of the College of Architects of Valencia and Knight of the Order of Charles III.
