Final of the Copa del Rey 2022
The 2022 Copa del Rey returns stronger than ever, and most importantly, with an audience! After the prohibition of fan attendance in 2021 due to the alarming state of the pandemic in Spain, the 120th edition of the national competition will welcome the warmth of the crowd at the Estadio de la Cartuja (Sevilla) and experience an intense and fiercely contested day with the best national football.
The stadium has a capacity to hold up to 57,000 spectators and is expected to be packed with fans. Since 2020, the Andalusian capital has been the venue for the cup finals until 2023, a great bet to recover the stadium that cost so much for the Andalusians and to live a new prosperous stage.
Here’s all the information you need to know about the 2022 Copa del Rey final.
Copa del Rey 2022 Semifinals
How the Copa del Rey draw turned out
This year, big teams like FC Barcelona or Real Madrid will not be among the semifinalists, as they were knocked out in earlier rounds. Instead, Rayo Vallecano (0), Athletic Club (23), Real Betis Balompié (2), and Valencia CF (8) have made it to this round.
Athletic (23) is the second club with the most Copa del Rey titles, only behind Barça (31). However, Valencia is the team that won the cup most recently in 2019, against Barcelona. What we can be sure of is the thrilling matches that the four teams will offer, and how closely contested it will be to reach the Estadio de la Cartuja on April 23 in the big final.
The Copa del Rey semifinal draw is as follows:
Rayo Vallecano – Real Betis
Valencia – Athletic Club
The semifinals will be the only matches of the tournament played in a two-legged format. The first leg will take place on February 9 and 10 at Vallecas Stadium and San Mamés Stadium, respectively. The return leg will be held on March 2 and 3 at Mestalla and Benito Villamarín. All matches can be watched on DAZN and Telecinco for free.
