Countdown to cup week
RFEH has confirmed the officiating appointments for the next Copa del Rey and Copa de la Reina, to be played at Junior FC on 24, 25 and 26 April. The publication from the National Umpires Committee settles one of the key organisational questions ahead of one of the most visible weekends in the Spanish calendar.
The appointments arrive with almost three weeks to spare, allowing clubs, officials and organisers to move into the final phase of preparation with the officiating crew already fixed.
The event will again bring the men's and women's cup titles into the same venue, increasing the logistical and officiating demands on every matchday.
In short-format tournaments every organisational detail carries extra weight, and official appointments help set the tone for a weekend with no room for improvisation.
Beyond the list of names, the update marks the usual change of pace around the cup: league discussion gives way to a concentrated event in which every appointment, every bracket and every operational detail matters more. The CNA publication confirms that sprint has already begun.
