Luis Casanova Giner (15 December 1908 – 4 May 1999) was a Spanish sports leader who served as the 12th president of football club Valencia CF,[1] including two mandates in an interim basis in 1936, and one full mandate that lasted for nearly 20 years, between 1940 and 1959, in which the club won half of its fourteen national titles: Three league titles (1941–42, 1943–44, and 1946–47), three Copa del Reys (1941, 1949, and 1954), and one Copa Eva Duarte in 1949.[2][3][4] He invested most of his own capital in the club, especially in the rebuilding of a war-torn Mestalla Stadium, to carry out a project that became personal.[3][4] He is thus widely regarded as one of the most important presidents of Valencia, with his 19 years in charge remaining unmatched.[4]
He was also known for being president of Cifesa, one of the most important film companies in the world at the time, which produced the best Spanish-American blockbusters of the time, turning the company, and Valencia (its headquarters), into Spanish Hollywood from the early 1940s until the mid-60s.[5][6]
