Each year the Royal Spanish Football Federation hosts the "Campeonato de España" – Copa de Su Majestad el Rey – more commonly referred to as La Copa del Rey. Founded in 1903, the Copa del Rey is the oldest Spanish soccer competition played at a national level and serves as a qualifier for the following season's UEFA Europa League. The most recent champion is Real Madrid, who triumphed over Osasuna at the Estadio de La Cartuja final in 2023. They won their 20th Copa del Rey title and for that, they had to wait 8 years.
