This year’s championship game is scheduled to be held at La Cartuja Stadium in Seville. The match is set for April 6, 2024, a date that will crown the season’s champion in front of a packed crowd.

Current knowledge confirms that La Cartuja Stadium can accommodate 57,600 spectators for major finals and events, underscoring its suitability for a match of this magnitude.

EVERYTHING ABOUT LA CARTUJA STADIUM

The La Cartuja complex sits on the outskirts of Seville, with parts of its campus extending into the town of Santiponce. The venue lies on the La Cartuja island, an area known for hosting the World Expo in 1992 and now home to university campuses, numerous businesses, and an Olympic-sized stadium.

Parking is available around the site, and the stadium is well connected by public transport, including bus lines C1 and C2 and Renfe Cercanías line C-2, which includes a station adjacent to the venue.

The playing field measures 105 by 68 meters and currently seats about 57,619 spectators, reflecting a capacity that places the venue among Spain’s larger stadiums.

La Cartuja ranks as the fifth-largest stadium in the country, following Camp Nou, the Santiago Bernabéu, Metropolitano, and Benito Villamarín, and it is the second-largest in the Andalusia region.

Among the notable features are the stadium’s seating arrangements and amphitheater sections, including a mix of low-level and cantilever areas, designed to optimize sightlines and fan experience. The complex also hosts multiple corporate offices and a hotel with views into the arena, underscoring its mixed-use character for events and business activities.

HISTORICAL MATCHES

Seville has a rich history with Copa del Rey finals, having staged the final in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Earlier finals in the same venue occurred in 1999 when Valencia defeated Atlético Madrid 3-0, and in 1925 when Barcelona beat Arenas de Getxo 2-0. In addition to national finals, La Cartuja was the site of the 2003 UEFA Cup final, where Porto defeated Celtic 3-2.

The stadium has also hosted numerous Spain national team friendlies and several matches during Euro 2021, when La Roja captivated supporters and reached the semi-finals with a wave of home support.
