It has been made of begging, as usual in each event, raffle or presentation that organizes the Royal Spanish Football Federation from a while, but finally the competition calendar that will have the second RFEF, the fourth step of Spanish football, is finally known. A calendar that, incidentally, was not planned to be announced today, but finally the federative entity has entered into reason. What was already known is that the League will begin on the weekend of September 6-7 and will have as a final date on May 31, when the promotion phase concludes, and that will have an asymmetric calendar.

Four are the Biscay representatives who attend in this category: Sestao River and Amorebieta, who descended from bronze football; Basconia, who achieved direct ascent after a sensational season; and the Gernika, who finally managed to maintain the category. Four close rivals that will propitiate several derbies throughout the course.

The draw has provided that in the first day of competition is Amorebieta the only one of our representatives that acts as a local. The Blues will receive in Urritxe the Royal Union, a hard root bone for those of Aitor Zulaika. For its part, Sestao River will face Alfaro in Riojan lands; The Gernika must be measured to the Zaragoza subsidiary, Deportivo Aragón; while Basconia will also move to Maño territory to face the utebo in its premiere in the category.

Looking at the last competition day, the screws change completely. Amorebieta will be the only one to close the season away from home, with the duel against mutilvera. For its part, Basconia will receive the Ejea; The Sestao River al Utebo and the Gernika to Alavés B.

To see the first Vizcaíno derby we will have to wait until the fifth day, to play on the first weekend of October. It will be then when the Faces are seen the descended Amorebieta and the ascony in Urritxe. A week later, the Blues will visit Urbieta to face Gernika in the Duranguesado derby.

Already in December, on day 15, the Sestao River will receive those of the Foral Villa, to visit a date later to Basconia. The main course as far as the Biscayan derbis refers will arrive on the last day of the first round, when the Gernika receives the Basconia and the Sestao River al Amorebieta.

The neighborhood duels in the second round will start on day 24, at the end of February, again with a double confrontation between ours: Gernika-Sestoo River and Basconia-Amorebieta. The faces will not be seen again until the final stretch of the competition. On day 31, the Gernika visits Urritxe; In 32, Basconia does the same with the plains.
