April 18th is set to host the Copa del Rey final, pending approval from the Royal House. The Spanish Federation has already chosen a Saturday over a Sunday for the showpiece event, according to 'AS'.
The date carries significant weight. Originally, the Copa del Rey final was scheduled for Saturday, April 25th, clashing with both the Seville Fair and the Spanish MotoGP Grand Prix in Jerez.
Despite the semi-final first legs already taking place, the federation had yet to confirm a definitive date. Indeed, until the Royal House grants its approval, uncertainty persists over whether the match will kick off on the evening of April 18th or the afternoon of April 19th.
The cited source reports the final will kick off on Saturday, April 18th, at 22:00. This date also coincides with the Women's national team's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine, which organisers will schedule for 16:00 to prevent a direct clash.
