Uncertainty about the date and scene of the final of the Copa del Rey could be resolved, although the RFEF have not been confirmed.

Friday 25 May at the Vicente Calderón stadium in Madrid. As announced by the Televisió de Catalunya program 'Efectivament', FC Barcelona and Athletic Club have agreed to the final of the Copa del Rey will be played in Spain's capital, despite the refusal of Real Madrid give the Santiago Bernabéu stadium for the celebration of this clash, saying the start of a refurbishment.
