The season has kicked off in a dreamlike manner for Vic, culminating in a golden finish this afternoon.
October 31, 2024, is an unforgettable date for the team, the city of Vic, and the region of Osona. The red-and-whites are making history today, Thursday, with their cup tie against another red-and-white club, Atlético Madrid.
This Thursday, the Estadi Hipòlit Planàs will host the match starting at 19:00 between Unió Esportiva Vic, a team in the Catalan Lliga Elit, the sixth tier of Spanish football just below the Tercera RFEF, and Simeone’s side.
The match, which is part of the first round of the Copa del Rey, will be one of the most important, if not the most significant, matches in the history of the Osona club, founded in 1922.
47 years ago, in 1977, was the only time UE Vic participated in the Copa del Rey, where they were eliminated by Orihuela.
Last season, the impressive performance by Ramon Carrascal’s men in the Catalan league earned them a spot in the preliminary cup phase, where they brilliantly eliminated Sporting de Mahón with a 4-0 victory.
Today’s match is the worthy culmination of well-executed work by an organization that wishes to continue growing step by step. The real battle lies in the league, where the long-awaited return to Tercera RFEF is the ultimate goal.
The reward for the Vic squad is to face off against one of European football’s giants today, with the entire region rallying behind them.
And what if…? The more optimistic fans ponder. The recent struggles of the mattress makers only amplify that thought.
