The wrap of dates with the Supercopa concerns to Barça and Seville

They happen the days and follow without confirming of official way the dates of the Supercopa of Spain between FC Barcelona and Seville. It knows that it will contest during the month of August, but the presence of the World-wide of Russia 2018 in July has tightened the calendar of pre-season of both groups, and in case it was little the Seville will have to surpass this summer three previous rounds to be in Europe League.

For the moment, the LFP (League of Professional Football) has reserved two dates: they are on 5 August, in the Sánchez Pizjuán, and the 12 of the same month in the Camp Nou. However, they exist a lot of problems so that the parties can carry out in such dates, by what Luis Rubiales, new president of the RFEF, remembers that the calendar will not be official until it approve it the Federation.

It exists the possibility, besides, that it negotiate with FC Barcelona and Seville contest this season the Supercopa of Spain to only party, given the peculiarities of the calendar. The FC Barcelona would have it complicated to play on 5 August in Seville, since the day before will be in San Francisco fulfilling his last meeting of turns it North American.

His best players, besides, will finish to participate in the World-wide of Russia 2018 and will not be available to be ranged of way so early, at the beginning of August, in Seville. In this coyuntura, the FC Barcelona could begin to contest the first title of the year in clear disadvantage regarding the Seville, since the majority of his 'heavy weights' could be on holiday.

The Seville, contesting from 26 July the previous of the Europe League, could encarar the meeting with his best players. The next weekend would be the 11 and on 12 August, 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 alternatives to play the Supercopa in August

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, as we have advanced before, 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 option, but feasible and necessary, since there are not more dates in August in which Seville and FC Barcelona coincide. On the other hand, it could postpone the beginning of LaLiga Santander, something that does not seem that it was too feasible. The question is that possibilities there is. Now, it will be missing that all the parts put of agreement.
