Starting with the season 2019/2020, the regulations for the Copa del Rey will be changed.

Changes in the format of the national cup will benefit the grandees of Spanish football, as they will reduce the number of matches that will have to be played in the season.

As the official website of the Spanish Football Federation, starting from the 2019/2020 season in the Copa del Rey, the teams will hold one meeting until the quarterfinals. Only starting from 1/4 the participant of the next round will be determined in the two-legged confrontation.

Thus, teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona will be able to slightly relieve the calendar and save energy in the fight on at least three fronts.

Recall that at the moment within the Cup of Spain teams hold two meetings starting already with 1/16 of the tournament.

The current owner of the Copa del Rey is Barcelona, ??which in the finals this year defeated Sevilla with a score of 5: 0.
