The Copa del Rey final will no longer be played on April 18. It is postponed. It is the decision taken by the president of the Federation after meeting with the presidents of the Royal Society and Athletic Bilbao. All parties agree that it is a match that cannot be played behind closed doors and that it is a party for the fans.
Next week there will be a date, depending on the progress of the coronavirus in Spain. The only sure thing is that the headquarters of the Olympic Stadium in Seville is maintained. There are several alternative dates, the most likely would be Saturday, May 30, one week after the end of the League championship. For this, it would be necessary to move an Extremoduro concert scheduled for that day at the Villamarín Olympic Stadium, a matter for which the Junta de Andalucía and the Federation are collaborating.
There is no definitive date, but it is believed that it could be played in late May, Saturday the 30th, a week after the League ended. But as long as the advance of the coronavirus does not prevent it and the Government does not lift the measures adopted yesterday after the Council of Ministers.
