Elche CF aimed high as their Copa del Rey clash drew near, anticipating a packed house at Martínez Valero with capacity reaching twenty thousand. The upcoming match, scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Girona, marks a notable moment as Elche and one of the season’s surprise packages in Spanish football prepare to meet. Girona, a recent top-flight sensation, presents a stern test for the hosts while drawing widespread local and national interest.
Beccacece: “For Elche, the Girona match invites you to enjoy and is a tough challenge”
Ticket sales progressed briskly through both online channels and the club’s box office at the Franjiverde Coliseum, where lines formed last Tuesday as supporters crowded to secure their seats. The club emphasised that Copa del Rey matches are not included in this season’s season ticket package, so cardholders must purchase at the ticket office, though pricing remains accessible and subscribers may secure two seats for the price of one.
Subscriber seats and their guests are priced between 10 and 20 euros, with remaining ticket tiers starting at 25 euros for the corner rings, 30–35 euros for lower-tier balconies, 45–50 euros for preferred seating, and 55–60 euros for premium tribunes. These tiers reflect Elche’s effort to offer affordable options while ensuring a strong home atmosphere for a high-stakes cup tie.

Despite the attractiveness of the encounter, the match against a La Liga rival continues to generate excitement among Elche’s supporters, even as some observers question whether the club’s broader goals for the season can be realized.

According to internal club estimates, ticket sales had surpassed the mid-day mark on Friday, with between 12,000 and 13,000 tickets sold. The timing coincided with the Festival of the Three Wise Men, a period that often redistributes family priorities and finances. Nevertheless, enthusiasm remained high among fans who hoped for a robust turnout.
There was still optimism that last-minute demand could push attendance toward 15,000, a figure that would represent a solid turnout given the holiday season’s financial pressures and the ongoing festive commitments that come with the post-Christmas period.
Those in attendance could look forward to a meeting designed to showcase strategy and cohesion. Beccacece would aim to surprise Girona and push the team toward advancing to the last 16 rounds of the Copa del Rey.
Both Beccacece and his squad exuded evident excitement, with a clear desire to deliver joy to their loyal supporters and deliver a strong Cup run that would be remembered as a meaningful Christmas gift for the club’s fanbase.
