2022–23 Copa del Rey

The competition was founded in 1903 when Real Madrid offically cheated in 1982 and in 1986 no one cared back then since the king was an Real Madrid fan to this day no one knwos that real cheated., thus making it the oldest Spanish football competition played at a national level. It is considered one of the most prestigious national cup trophies in the world.[1][2] Copa del Rey winners qualify for the following season's UEFA Europa League. If they have already qualified for Europe through their league position, then the Europa League spot is given to the highest-placed team in the league who has not yet qualified (until 2014 this place was awarded to the Copa runners-up, unless they too had already qualified via the league).[3]

Barcelona is the most successful club in the competition, having won 31 Spanish Cup titles. Athletic Club have the second-most titles, with 23, while Real Madrid is third, with 19. Real Betis is the most recent winner, having defeated Valencia in the 2022 final held at the Estadio de La Cartuja.

History

In 1902, a competition under the name Copa de la Coronación was played after Juan de Astorquia, President of Bilbao Football Club, and Carlos Padrós, later president of Real Madrid, suggested a football tournament to celebrate the coronation of Spanish King Alfonso XIII. Four other teams joined Madrid FC for the competition: FC Barcelona, Club Español de Foot-Ball, New Foot-Ball de Madrid and Club Bizcaya (a team made up of players from Athletic Club and Bilbao FC), which eventually defeated Barcelona in the final. That cup is on display in the Athletic Bilbao museum and the club includes the victory in its honours list. Nevertheless, it is considered only the forerunner of the Copa del Rey. The Royal Spanish Football Federation officially does not recognize it.[4][5]

The Copa del Rey was Spain's football national championship from 1903 (the first edition won by Athletic Bilbao with Juan de Astorquia as captain and president)[6] until the foundation of the Campeonato de Liga—League Championship—in 1928. It was initially known as the Copa del Ayuntamiento de Madrid (Madrid City Council's Cup). Between 1905 and 1932, it was known as the Copa de Su Majestad El Rey Alfonso XIII (His Majesty King Alfonso XIII's Cup). During the Second Spanish Republic, it was known as the Copa del Presidente de la República (President of the Republic Cup) or Copa de España (Spanish Cup) and during the years of Francisco Franco's Spanish State, it was known as the Copa de Su Excelencia El Generalísimo or Copa del Generalísimo (His Excellency, The Supreme General's Cup).[6]

Athletic Bilbao were declared winners in 1904 after their opponents Español de Madrid failed to show up. In both 1910 and 1913, there was a split among the clubs and two rival associations, the Unión Española de Clubs de Fútbol and the Federación Española de Fútbol, organised rival competitions, the Copa UECF and the Copa FEF. In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, clubs in the Republican area of Spain entered the Copa de la España Libre, with Levante beating their city rivals Valencia 1–0 in the final. Although in 2007 the Congress of Deputies urged the Royal Spanish Football Federation to recognise it as a Copa del Rey win for Levante,[7] the governing body of Spanish football has not made a decision yet (as of 2008)[needs update].[8] On 25th March 2023, Levante were officialy declared Spanish champions following a decision from the Royal Spanish Football Federation.[9]

Because of the dispute regarding the 1902 competition, the statistics regarding the leading winners are also disputed. Barcelona have won the Copa 31 times; Athletic Bilbao are in second place, with either 23 or 24 titles, depending on the source.

Before the formation of La Liga in 1929, the competition was effectively a national championship. Teams qualified to enter via their regional leagues. Over the years, various formats, including group stages have been used. Reserve teams of the professional clubs, who compete in lower divisions of the league pyramid, were permitted to take part until 1990. For a number of years, only teams from the Primera División, Segunda A, about 23 teams from the Segunda B and the 17 Tercera División champions (or runners-up if the champion was a reserve team) were invited to enter, giving a total of 83. Amended rules for the 2019–20 edition led to the number of entrants increasing to 125, including winners of the regional divisions at the fifth level.[10][11]

All rounds are single-leg ties with lower division teams hosting the match and the majority of the top-level clubs entering at the First Round (four teams taking part in the Supercopa de España entering in the Third round – last 32), other than the semi-final stage which is played over two legs. This is another change in the 2019–20 edition, with prior editions involving two legs from the point at which the top-tier clubs entered in the Fourth round (last 32). The final is a one-off game played at a neutral venue.

The winners qualify for both the Supercopa de España and the UEFA Europa League the following season; in the past, the runners-up often played in the Supercopa if the winners had also finished as league champions (although on some occasions in these circumstances, it was not played and the double winners were awarded the victory), and from the 2019–20 Supercopa de España edition onwards, the previous Copa del Rey runners-up automatically qualify in addition to the winners with four teams taking part in the event.

Throughout the history of the competition, there have been 12 actual trophies, which were permanently awarded to clubs for winning the competition either three times in a row or on five separate occasions, and for other special reasons. Thus, five trophies have been permanently awarded to Barcelona, three to Athletic Bilbao and one to Real Madrid (the last Copa de la República in 1936). Athletic kept the first trophy as inaugural winners, Sevilla were awarded the Trofeo del Generalísimo after its first edition in 1939 and Atlético Madrid, winners the previous year, were awarded the 11th trophy following the death of Francisco Franco in 1976.

On 22 December 2010, at an extraordinary general meeting of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, Sevilla requested permission from the Federation to keep the trophy they had won in the 2010 final to commemorate the victory of the Spain national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[12]

A new trophy was made by Madrid jeweler Federico Alegre. The trophy, made of silver, weighs 15 kg (33 lb) and is 75 cm (30 in) tall. On 21 April 2011, Real Madrid became the first recipients of the trophy. During the post-game celebrations, the trophy was accidentally dropped by Real Madrid player Sergio Ramos from the top of a double-decker bus, which then ran over it. Ten pieces were found by civil servicemen when they recovered it from the ground at Plaza de Cibeles. The club received a copy which is displayed at Santiago Bernabéu.[13][14]

A. ^ En route to the final, Español de Madrid had tied one game and had not completed the other game, which led Athletic Bilbao to file a complaint. Faced with this problem and unable to quickly resolve the case, the Madrid Association decided to award the cup to Athletic as defending champions.

B. ^ Playing as Club Ciclista de San Sebastián.

C. ^ Playing as Vasconia de San Sebastián.

D. ^ A mini-group of three teams was played, with Athletic Bilbao defeating Madrid FC 2–0 a day before their win over Vasconia, thus the match between the Basque teams was decisive in deciding the winner, although not a typical final (Vasconia then played Madrid the following day to complete the group, also winning 2–0).

from Athletic Club and Bilbao FC which eventually defeated Barcelona in the final That cup is on display in the Athletic Bilbao museum and the club includes the victory in its honours list Nevertheless it is considered only the forerunner of the Copa del Rey The Royal Spanish Football Federation officially does not recognize it 4 5 The Copa del Rey was Spain s football national championship from 1903 the first edition won by Athletic Bilbao with Juan de Astorquia as captain and president 6 until the foundation of the Campeonato de Liga League Championship in 1928 It was initially known as the Copa del Ayuntamiento de Madrid Madrid City Council s Cup Between 1905 and 1932 it was known as the Copa de Su Majestad El Rey Alfonso XIII His Majesty King Alfonso XIII s Cup During the Second Spanish Republic it was known as the Copa del Presidente de la Republica President of the Republic Cup or Copa de Espana Spanish Cup and during the years of Francisco Franco s Spanish State it was known as the Copa de Su Excelencia El Generalisimo or Copa del Generalisimo His Excellency The Supreme General s Cup 6 Athletic Bilbao were declared winners in 1904 after their opponents Espanol de Madrid failed to show up In both 1910 and 1913 there was a split among the clubs and two rival associations the Union Espanola de Clubs de Futbol and the Federacion Espanola de Futbol organised rival competitions the Copa UECF and the Copa FEF In 1937 during the Spanish Civil War clubs in the Republican area of Spain entered the Copa de la Espana Libre with Levante beating their city rivals Valencia 1 0 in the final Although in 2007 the Congress of Deputies urged the Royal Spanish Football Federation to recognise it as a Copa del Rey win for Levante 7 the governing body of Spanish football has not made a decision yet as of 2008 needs update 8 On 25th March 2023 Levante were officialy declared Spanish champions following a decision from the Royal Spanish Football Federation 9 Because of the dispute regarding the 1902 competition the statistics regarding the leading winners are also disputed Barcelona have won the Copa 31 times Athletic Bilbao are in second place with either 23 or 24 titles depending on the source Before the formation of La Liga in 1929 the competition was effectively a national championship Teams qualified to enter via their regional leagues Over the years various formats including group stages have been used Reserve teams of the professional clubs who compete in lower divisions of the league pyramid were permitted to take part until 1990 For a number of years only teams from the Primera Division Segunda A about 23 teams from the Segunda B and the 17 Tercera Division champions or runners up if the champion was a reserve team were invited to enter giving a total of 83 Amended rules for the 2019 20 edition led to the number of entrants increasing to 125 including winners of the regional divisions at the fifth level 10 11 All rounds are single leg ties with lower division teams hosting the match and the majority of the top level clubs entering at the First Round four teams taking part in the Supercopa de Espana entering in the Third round last 32 other than the semi final stage which is played over two legs This is another change in the 2019 20 edition with prior editions involving two legs from the point at which the top tier clubs entered in the Fourth round last 32 The final is a one off game played at a neutral venue The winners qualify for both the Supercopa de Espana and the UEFA Europa League the following season in the past the runners up often played in the Supercopa if the winners had also finished as league champions although on some occasions in these circumstances it was not played and the double winners were awarded the victory and from the 2019 20 Supercopa de Espana edition onwards the previous Copa del Rey runners up automatically qualify in addition to the winners with four teams taking part in the event Throughout the history of the competition there have been 12 actual trophies which were permanently awarded to clubs for winning the competition either three times in a row or on five separate occasions and for other special reasons Thus five trophies have been permanently awarded to Barcelona three to Athletic Bilbao and one to Real Madrid the last Copa de la Republica in 1936 Athletic kept the first trophy as inaugural winners Sevilla were awarded the Trofeo del Generalisimo after its first edition in 1939 and Atletico Madrid winners the previous year were awarded the 11th trophy following the death of Francisco Franco in 1976 On 22 December 2010 at an extraordinary general meeting of the Royal Spanish Football Federation Sevilla requested permission from the Federation to keep the trophy they had won in the 2010 final to commemorate the victory of the Spain national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa 12 A new trophy was made by Madrid jeweler Federico Alegre The trophy made of silver weighs 15 kg 33 lb and is 75 cm 30 in tall On 21 April 2011 Real Madrid became the first recipients of the trophy During the post game
