Copa del Rey 2022-23 Final: Everything you need to know
Real Madrid take on Osasuna on 6 May
Since 1903, the Copa del Rey has been Spain's most important football cup game. It is held every year. The game is named after King Alfonso XIII of Spain, who supported the event with his royal patronage. The Copa del Rey has changed its rules a few times over the years, but it is still one of the most important football tournaments in Spain.
The first Copa del Rey was played between only three teams, and Athletic Club de Bilbao won. In the beginning, only teams that were part of the Spanish Football Federation could play. But in 1928, all Spanish teams were allowed to enter, and since then, it has become one of the most-watched football tournaments in Spain.
In recent years, the Copa del Rey has changed its rules several times to make it easier for top teams to schedule games. Teams from all levels of Spanish football, even those that don't play professionally, can now take part in the tournament. The tournament has also become a place where smaller teams can show off their skills and maybe even beat the best clubs in the country.
Like the EFL Cup in England, the Copa del Rey is a single-elimination knockout competition. Each round is a single match, with the winner progressing and the loser eliminated. Top teams from across the country will compete for the 2023 Copa del Rey trophy. The victor of the one-off Copa del Rey final will qualify for the UEFA Europa League the following season.
The Copa del Rey has a rich history and tradition in Spanish football. Its continued popularity and prestige make it one of the most significant competitions in the Spanish football calendar. Finally here is everything you need to know about the Copa del Rey 2023 final.
