The Seville achieved to classify of mathematical form to contest the previous of the Europe League in August, something that will tighten a lot the dates of the calendar hispalense. In said calendar appears the Supercopa in front of the Barça, but there will be wrap of dates
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 has arrived this week, when the Seville has classified of mathematical form for the previous of the Europe League, that contests in August, coinciding with similar dates to the ones of the Supercopa.
It is necessary to take 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. Something that, in the next season, will be very difficult. The classification of the Seville to play the Europe League will force him to play three previous in August, something that will tighten the calendar.
The FC Barcelona finishes his turn American the day 4 August, by what will not coincide with the Seville in the weekend of the 4 and the 5. The next weekend would be the 11 and the 12, but this only would give to contest the gone, since LaLiga Santander will give beginning the weekend of the 18 and on 19 August, by what the Supercopa would owe to have contested already.
The two alternatives for the Supercopa
The Federation will have to look for an alternative solution for the dispute of the championship. The first option would be that the Supercopa of Spain went this season to only party, celebrating the weekend of the 11 and the 12. In this way, would have the same format that the Supercopa of Europe and would subtract problems in the calendar.
The second option will be that the party of gone play the day 11 or on 12 August and that the turn contest between week once LaLiga Santander already have begun. A little Orthodox but feasible option and necessary, since there are not more dates in August in which Seville and FC Barcelona coincide. It solve as it solve , the wrap is served.
