The Spanish Football Federation officially announced on Saturday the date and venue for the much-anticipated final of the Copa del Rey, which will feature a classic showdown between two of the country's biggest football clubs — Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

According to the statement released by the federation, the final match will be held on Friday, April 26th, with kickoff scheduled for 10:00 PM local time in Spain, which corresponds to 11:00 PM in Saudi Arabia and other nearby regions. The timing was carefully chosen to maximize viewership and accommodate a global audience, considering the international fan base of both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The prestigious final will take place at the Estadio de La Cartuja, located in the city of Seville, the capital of the Andalusia region in southern Spain. This stadium has become a traditional host for the Copa del Rey final in recent years, and the 2025 edition will mark the sixth consecutive year that the final is played there. Since its designation as the official venue for the cup final, La Cartuja has provided a neutral and grand setting suitable for such a major event.
This upcoming final will also be the ninth time overall that the Copa del Rey final is held in Seville, further reinforcing the city's reputation as a key location for major football occasions in Spain. The agreement with the Spanish Football Federation designates Seville — and La Cartuja specifically — as the official host of the Copa del Rey final matches until 2025, ensuring continuity and allowing organizers to maintain high standards of planning and logistics.
To reach the final, Real Madrid had to overcome a strong opponent in Real Sociedad during the semifinals. With an impressive performance, Los Blancos secured their place in the final, aiming to add another title to their historic legacy. On the other side, Barcelona faced a challenging matchup against Atlético Madrid in the other semifinal clash. The Catalan giants managed to prevail and earn their spot in the final, setting the stage for a thrilling edition of El Clásico.
This final will mark yet another chapter in the intense and historic rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Whenever these two footballing powerhouses meet, the stakes are high, and the excitement is palpable. Fans can expect a fiercely contested battle as both teams compete not only for the title but also for pride and bragging rights.
In addition to the sporting significance, the match is expected to bring economic benefits to Seville through tourism, hospitality, and related industries. Thousands of fans from across Spain and beyond are expected to travel to the city, boosting local businesses.
With both teams in strong form and boasting some of the world's best players, the 2025 Copa del Rey final promises to be a spectacular event, full of drama, passion, and world-class football.
