Yesterday Tuesday we knew about the change of future dates Spanish Super Cup which will be held in the second week of January at Saudi Arabia. A change that happens because real Madrid finally play in their semi-final match Majorca on Thursday, January 9 instead of Wednesday the 8th, leaving for this date the other rivalry between Barcelona and the Athletic Club of Bilbao.
This change, and according to the resolution issued by the sole judge of the competition of RFEF responded to the League’s request to allow “the real Madrid there may be ample leave for the hypothesis that the adjourned meeting Valencia-Real Madridcorresponding to the National League Championship First Divisioncan be played on January 2, 2025.”
A change that also takes into account that on January 5, 2025 the celebration of the Round of 32 is established. King’s Cup, where the four teams of Spanish Super Cupamong them is Real Madrid.
A change that, as the judge himself argues, is done in thinking that the clash between Valencia-Real Madrid postponed by DANA can be played this January 2nd, and as we have already told MD, this match cannot be played until May 21st. Only a few days before the last day of the First Division.
The problem is that this proposed date of January 2, 2025 is not suitable for holding an official meeting. This is reflected in the current agreement between LaLiga and AFErecently extended to June 30, 2026.
In it, and within the breaks section, it designates the period between “December 23 and January 2” as the Christmas break in the 2024-2025 season. This explains why the final matchday of the 2024 league will be played on December 21 and 22.
Something that could happen next season where the agreement includes January 2, 2026 as the date of play, as long as it is under the premise of geographical proximity. The agreement states verbatim: “2025-26 season: from December 23, 2025 to January 1, 2026. On January 2, matches may be played based on the criteria of geographical proximity and ease of movement.”
This indicates that for this Valencia – Real Madrid could be played this January 2, 2025 requires union approval, something that has not yet happened.
