Quintanar del Rey Prepares for a Historic Copa del Rey Night
So today, we’re talking about a truly special Copa del Rey matchup — one of those games that remind everyone why this competition is loved so much. The second round is here, and with it comes a clash that feels packed with emotion, ambition, and a little bit of football magic: Quintanar del Rey vs. Elche.
This week, the Copa del Rey brings together 56 teams from across different divisions, all fighting for a place in the round of 32. And that’s when giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético, and Athletic Club step in. But before that stage arrives, the spotlight is very much on the smaller clubs who dream of making history. Quintanar del Rey, a team competing in Segunda Federación, is one of those sides carrying that hope.

For them, this match isn’t just another fixture. It’s being described as “historic,” and honestly, it makes sense. This is the first time the club has ever reached the second round of the Copa del Rey. You can imagine the excitement in the town, the anticipation in the stadium, and the pride that’s likely being felt by everyone connected to the club. Their coach, Pedro Bolaños, said it clearly: the team must prepare as well as possible because this moment means a lot.
On the other side is Elche — recently promoted back to La Liga and arriving with the quality and experience that comes from playing at the highest level. Yes, they’re coming off a narrow 1–0 loss to Getafe, but they’ve also shown what they’re capable of. That 2–2 draw against Real Madrid at the MartÃnez Valero earlier in the season proved they can compete with anyone on their day.
The match will be played tonight, Wednesday, December 3rd, at 21:00, inside the Municipal San Marcos stadium. It’s a charming ground with space for around 2,800 fans, and you can be sure every seat will be filled with energy. The club even shared a friendly message inviting Elche, calling it an honor to face a team with so much history — a small gesture that captures the spirit of these knockout rounds.
It’s one of those nights where anything can happen — where a humble team can dream big, and where the Copa del Rey shows once again why it’s such a beloved tournament.
