On Saturday, May 23, Jaén Paraíso Interior FS and FC Barcelona will play the second semifinal at 4:00 PM. Earlier, at 12:00 PM, Jimbee Cartagena Costa Cálida and Viña Albali Valdepeñas will kick off the day with the first knockout match. The grand final of this sixteenth edition of the tournament is scheduled for Sunday, May 24, starting at 4:00 PM.
The team from Jaén arrives in Cáceres with the ambition of winning their first King's Cup, a title that has eluded them on four previous occasions, most recently as runners-up after losing to Movistar Inter. In earlier editions, such as 2018 (also in Cáceres), 2019 in Ciudad Real, and 2020 in Málaga, the Andalusian side was defeated by their current opponent, Barça, the club with the most extensive record in this competition.
Despite these historical results in the tournament, Jaén Paraíso Interior FS draws confidence from their recent victory over the Catalan giants in the Spanish Cup final in Granada, which they won in a penalty shootout. The pursuit of a double title is a significant goal for the team led by Dani Rodríguez, aiming to cap off an already historic season. This tournament holds particular importance as it could be the last King's Cup in its current format, pending approval of changes proposed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
Meanwhile, Jimbee Cartagena Costa Cálida and Viña Albali Valdepeñas will face each other on the other side of the bracket, vying for a spot in the final with the hope of claiming this title for the first time in their history. The Final Four in Cáceres, which will host the championship decision for the second time, will be broadcast live on Teledeporte.
