The Supercopa of Spain is a tournament that is used to contest in August and that confronts to the champions of LaLiga Santander and of the Glass of Rey. However, the FC Barcelona proclaimed champion of both tournaments, something that, by norm, forces to resort to the finalist of the Glass to be the rival of the bicampeón.
In this case, the Seville was the finalist copero and, therefore, the rival of the FC Barcelona in the Supercopa of Spain. The problem arrives when taking into account that, unlike the Supercopa of Europe, that is to only party, the one of Spain is to double party and is used to celebrate in two distinct weekends.
This season, however, the RFEF and LaLiga have given permission so that the tournament contest to an alone party, since both teams have commitments -friendly parties in the case of the FC Barcelona; and previous of the Europe League in case of the Seville- in the dates in which it would have to contest the gone.
As they would have confirmed sources of the Seville to Efe, the club hispalense would accept the proposal of the only party in case that this contest in Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, stadium of the Andalusian team. However, it will be necessary to expect the answer of the FC Barcelona to such pretence.
Luis Rubiales augura split only in neutral field
Luis Rubiales, president of the RFEF, commented in the Chain Be that the Supercopa probably will contest to only party in neutral field: "If it fixes the agreement with the television, is very likely that the Supercopa play on 12 August to only party. In such a case it would play in neutral field. If it finish being like this will be only by this summer and next year the competition would return to his usual format".
However, Rubiales wanted to warn that it has not closed the date with the FC Barcelona and the Seville: "it Is something that still is not enclosed, but it is necessary to finish to agree with the clubs. If finally it decides that it was to only party afterwards already will look the field in which it plays ".
