Overview

• The RFEF conducted the draw on Monday in Las Rozas, pairing 112 clubs while Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético and Athletic were exempt as Supercopa participants.
• The federation applied a new proximity criterion that divided teams into four regional groups to limit travel for modest clubs.
• All ties are one-off games hosted by the lower-division side in this round, which will not use VAR.
• Notable pairings include Negreira–Real Sociedad, Puerto de Vega–Celta, Sant Jordi–Osasuna, Maracena–Valencia, Orihuela–Levante, Inter de Valdemoro–Getafe and Yuncos–Rayo Vallecano.
• Ten regional qualifiers entered this round—Los Garres, Puerto de Vega, Getxo, Sant Jordi, Atlètic Sant Just, Atlético Palma del Río, Negreira, Los Yuncos, Maracena and Inter de Valdemoro—and were matched with higher-tier opponents.
