The salvation of the LXVI Carranza Trophy: Cádiz – Atlético de Madrid

The Carranza Trophy does not live its best moments, little by little it declined, but Cádiz fights against adversity to keep this historic summer tournament alive. It is for this reason that the cadista entity has proposed a new system, a single match against Atlético de Madrid. The deal is close to being closed, although the date remains unknown. However, It is estimated that it would be in the middle of September. Of course, for now, it would be behind closed doors

There are many disadvantages that precede the Carranza Trophy: COVID-19, contagion between footballers, lack of time, the Champions League in which Diego Simeone's team is immersed … All this would end up delaying its celebration for about a month, so this year it will not be possible to celebrate in the month of August as usual.

The choice of the rival is key, not only for being a team of height, but also, Atlético de Madrid is the club with the most Carranza Trophies in its showcases, ten specifically. Cádiz is the second with eight glasses.

Last year, when the 65th edition was held, The Carranza Trophy was formed, for the first time in its history, by women's teams with the idea of ​​reviving a tournament that accumulates many years without having the impact it had in its beginnings. The last participants were Tacón, Betis, Tottenham and, the winners, Athletic Club de Bilbao. Thanks to this commitment to women's football, it was possible to have more media impact, but it does not seem possible to organize her female version on this occasion.
