The Villa Clara football team represents the province of Villa Clara in the annual Campeonato Nacional de Fútbol de Cuba , the competition for the Cuban football championship. The selection is based in the municipality of Zulueta, part of the Municipio Remedios , where it plays its home games in the Camilo Cienfuegos Stadium. In Cuban sports journalism, Zulueta is referred to as the "capital of Cuban football".
