The moment of truth approaches. There are four games left to know the winner of this Copa del Rey. But before that moment arrives, the round of 16 of the KO tournament must be played.
For this, the draw must be held, which must define the pairings for the next tie.
There will be 16 teams in the hype: one from the First RFEF, three from the Second Division and 12 from the First Division. These are all the teams that are still alive in the Copa del Rey:
-Alavés (2nd)
-Athletic (1ª)
-Atletico (1st)
-Barcelona (1st)
-Betis (1ª)
-Ceuta (1st RFEF)
-Spanish (1st)
-Levante (2nd)
-Mallorca (1st)
-Health (1st)
-Real Madrid (1ª)
-Royal Society (1st)
-Seville (1st)
-Sporting (2ª)
-Valencia (1st)
-Villarreal (1ª)
This tie is especially important because the chances of the First Division teams facing each other is much higher. In the event that two teams from the highest category are paired, the first to come out in the draw will be the local one. On the other hand, the lower category teams will always be local.
The draw for the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey will be held this Saturday, January 7 at 1:00 p.m. in the Luis Aragonés Hall of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, in the Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas.
This long-awaited event can be followed through the official channels of the RFEF. Instead, the matches, which will be held on January 17, 18 and 19, can be seen on Movistar and RTVE.
