There was some concern about the Copa del Rey final date at the Cartuja Stadium due to the coincidence of several major events in the city and its surroundings that would lead to foreseeable organizational and security setbacks. … From the RFEF definitively confirm that the party will not be celebrated on Saturday April 25, complex day coinciding with the April Fair in the capital of Seville and Spanish Motorcycle Grand Prix in Jerez.
Rafael Louzanpresident of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), who had already designated the Charterhouse as headquartersannounced this Saturday, in the absence of finalizing some details, that the grand final of the ko tournament will be held the weekend of April 18-19. That is, a week before what was initially agreed in the calendar to avoid possible hotel and security problems.
«There is going to be a change of date. There is a good chance that it is the weekend before it was scheduled. “It is the date on which we are going to consolidate it,” Louzán stated before the media present in Castellón on the occasion of the final of the Spanish Women’s Super Cup.
The weekend of April 18-19 was one of the two alternatives that had been considered for weeks in the Federation. The other pointed to May 2-3. And that is to establish the definitive date of the cup final It’s not being easy at all, as Louzán himself has argued.
«You have to understand that this year is the first time that Betis plays in La Cartuja and that is why it was very easy for us to organize it before. Furthermore, the Betis He is in three competitions and that makes it more difficult. We have looked for an alternative date thinking about many things. Like hotel capacity. We also had to think about the State security forces and bodies. We have considered all of this and that is why we are working on changing the date. It’s probably the weekend before. It is already established that it will not be what was planned. There is already an alternative and we have spoken with LaLiga. In one or two weeks we will say the exact day and time,” confirmed the head of the RFEF.
In effect, the new date of the Cup final would force us to move the Betis – Real Madrid on matchday 32 of LaLiga scheduled for April 18-19 at La Cartuja.
