More than 160 countries to broadcast Copa del Rey final

Just over a month removed from the Copa del Rey final on April 23rd, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) held a meeting at Las Rozas in Madrid on Tuesday morning to lay the groundwork for the event.

The meeting was attended by the Valencia CF president Anil Murthy and Real Betis' Angel Haro, as well as presidents of the regional federations of Andalusia and Valencia.

The final, to be held at La Cartuja in Seville and kicking off at 10 pm local time, will be broadcast live in more than 160 countries and has the potential to be the most watched in history at an international level. Never before has the Copa del Rey final been offered in so many countries.

The RFEF are working on the distribution of tickets with the clubs. In accordance with federal statutes, a third of the available tickets are allotted to the organiser and a third for each of the finalists. Despite this, the RFEF has offered the clubs the possibility of reaching 40%.

The clubs have requested the greatest possible parity in terms of the type of tickets and their price. For this reason, they and the RFEF will meet on Friday once the distribution of the stadium has been reconfigured, to achieve the most appropriate balance for fans.

Ticket prices will range from 30 euros -with reduced visibility- to 222 euros.

Each club will also receive a package of functional diversity tickets for their supporters.

The day before the final, official training sessions will take place at the match venue at 6 pm and 8 pm. Real Betis will choose their time slot first.

Valencia CF will play with white shirts, shorts and socks, whilst Real Betis will use a green and white shirt, with black shorts and socks, following the proposals made by both clubs based on current regulations.

The work teams for the RFEF, Real Betis and Valencia CF will remain active and coordinate with one another until the final is played.
