Real Madrid and Barcelona will play the final of the Spanish Copa del Rey on April 26 at the La Cartuja stadium.
The Sevilla stadium has hosted the Copa del Rey final since the 2019/2020 season, after being granted the right to host it for four years — a period which was later extended by another two years.
Last year’s final saw Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao face off, with the Basque team triumphing in this same venue.
Following the semifinal matches, in which Real Madrid and Barcelona eliminated Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid respectively, representatives of both clubs are scheduled to meet this Friday at 12:00 to agree on final match details — including timing and ticket distribution.
La Cartuja Stadium has increased its capacity this year so that 72,000 spectators can attend the final on April 26.
After recent improvements, the Andalusian stadium has become the fourth-largest in Spain, behind the new Spotify Camp Nou (104,000), Santiago Bernabéu (81,044), and Civitas Metropolitano (70,460), according to Mundo Deportivo.
Ticket distribution will follow the usual model – each finalist will receive 40 percent of the total number of tickets, while the remaining 20 percent will be distributed by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). This means each club will have around 28,000 tickets available for their fans.
Spanish media today are reporting on how La Cartuja stadium currently looks, just 23 days before the Copa del Rey final.
