Reveal Ticket Allocation for Real Madrid and Barça's Copa del Rey Final

After a complicated journey full of surprises and shocks, Real Madrid has reached the Copa del Rey final. The victory against Real Sociedad in the semifinals will pit them against FC Barcelona in the last match of this edition of the 'K.O. tournament', to be played at La Cartuja.

The people in charge of the renovations at the Seville stadium are racing against time to increase the stadium's capacity by removing the old athletics track that surrounded the playing field, a very lengthy process. Despite the frantic countdown, RFEF is confident that everything will be ready for Saturday, April 26, the day of the final. So much so that they have already revealed the distribution of fans from both teams in the stands of the renovated venue.

The 'new' Cartuja, which will be able to host around 72,000 spectators, will be notably divided into two sides occupied respectively by fans of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. According to Rafael Almansa's information, Real Madrid has been assigned the North Goal of La Cartuja for their fans, who will spread out from that area.

On the opposite side, the South Goal is officially assigned to FC Barcelona supporters as noted by this veteran Seville journalist on 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' last night. RFEF has made a very clear division of both fan bases to avoid incidents during the match, but both groups will spread out from both sides... causing some fans to share seats with their respective rivals.

All Clarified

The tickets that RFEF reserves for this occasion, approximately 20%, would be assigned to the central part of the sides of La Cartuja stadium. While it is true that the Spanish Federation retains a significant percentage of these tickets, they have reminded that they will give up a good part of their quota to both clubs if necessary.

The goal is that no Real Madrid or Barcelona fan with a ticket is left out of the renovated La Cartuja stadium. RFEF has placed both fan bases at opposite ends of the stadium to ensure that the cheering sections of the finalists are not involved in any incidents during the match.

Real Madrid will act as the away team in this Copa del Rey final, while FC Barcelona will be considered the home team in the clash on the upcoming April 26. This arrangement of both teams is a mere formality arranged according to their journey in the competition, since the final is played on neutral ground.

That being said, Real Madrid fans planning to travel to Seville, with their ticket, know they must occupy their corresponding spot in the North Goal. There is less and less time left for one of the most important matches in our soccer... in which both teams are not only playing for the chance to win a title that counts toward the treble this season.
