The Copa del Rey de Fútbol ( German Football King's Cup ) is the national cup competition for men's club teams in Spanish football . However, there are also competitions for the Copa del Rey in most other sports such as handball , basketball , rugby union or ice hockey . In Spanish women's football, the Copa de la Reina (Queen's Cup) is played.
history
The oldest national football championship in the country was held for the first time in 1903, after the success of the first friendly tournament held in Spain in 1902, the Copa de la Coronación . This was on the occasion of the coronation celebrations of Alfonso XIII. organized by Madrid FC and won by Vizcaya de Bilbao (a joint team of clubs Bilbao FC and Athletic Club de Bilbao).
The first official national cup was then still called Copa de SM El Rey . After the proclamation of the Second Republic and the abdication of Alfonso XIII. (1931) the cup has been called Copa del Presidente de la República ( Cup of the President of the Republic , also Copa de España ) since 1933 . During the Civil War was in 1937 controlled by Republican troops of Spain Copa de España Libre (Cup of Free Spain) held that Levante FC by a 1: 0 against his local rivals Valencia CF won. However, this cup round is not recognized as official by the Spanish Football Association and is therefore not included in statistics. In 1938 there was no tournament at all. After the victory of the anti-republican party around Francisco Franco in the civil war, the trophy was played in 1939 as Trofeo de SE El Generalísimo , and since 1940 as Copa de SE El Generalísimo . After Franco's death during the 1975/76 cup season, the cup has been played as the Copa de SM El Rey Don Juan Carlos I since the 1976/77 season.
The record winner is FC Barcelona with 30 successes. Athletic Bilbao has won the trophy 23 times, Real Madrid 19 times and Atlético Madrid 10 times. The Valencia had been eight successful Real Zaragoza six times. The reigning cup winner is the team from Valencia CF.
In 1904, Athletic Bilbao won the trophy without playing in the semifinals or the final. Español de Barcelona did not play in the semifinals and there was no opponent in the final, as the Madrid clubs Real , Español and Moncloa were at odds over this.
In the 2010/11 cup season, Real Madrid won the cup in the final (April 20, 2011) against FC Barcelona in Valencia. In the subsequent motorcade, the victorious team, which was on an open double-decker bus, was celebrated frenetically. In the Plaza de Cibeles the trophy slipped from the player Sergio Ramos , fell on the street and was run over by the bus. The cup broke into several pieces and was recovered by civil defense forces. The club received a copy, which is on display in the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu . This trophy was used for the first time this year, as Sevilla FC was allowed to keep the trophy used to date after its 2010 victory.

The tournament for the Copa del Rey since the season 2019/20 in the knockout system is discharged. All clubs of the first two Spanish leagues ( Primera and Segunda División ) as well as the best teams in the four-track third-highest division (Segunda B) and the champions of the regional fourth division (Tercera División) are eligible to participate.
