For Spanish football fans, the King’s Cup It is a competition for nostalgic people. Every year hundreds of stories show the excitement of humble teams when they find out that they will face one of the big fish For many it will be the only opportunity to interact face to face with the sporting elite and for the teams the possibility of staying alive.

In total, they will participate 110 clubs from all over Spain coming from First Division, According to Division, First Federation, Second Federation, Third Federation, Federation Cup and Regional. The first round of the Copa del Rey began on Tuesday, October 29 without surprises; the big fish devoured the little fish. Although… on the second day of games, a miracle occurred for one of the humble.

He Albacete gave in to him Europawhich plays in the Second Federation (fourth category of Spanish football). Although winning is not always the only possibility of joy, sometimes the simple fact of facing a First Division team is already cause for celebration.

That’s what they must have thought about Ontiñenaa small municipality in the province of Huesca (Aragón). “I will take this with me forever,” were the words of Andres Rodateam defense, as stated in the Huffington Post. For the first time in their history they will face a club from the gold category.

The town does not exceed 520 inhabitants, which has already given Ontiñena’s team a title. They are the group with the least population to reach the first round of the Copa del Rey. Behind them is Becerril del Campo, with 700 registered.

Your rival will be nothing more and nothing less than the UD Las Palmas. In total, 2,000 people will be watching the clash between their neighbors and the Canaries. However, both locals and visitors will have to take the car. The match will be played in the neighboring town of Monsoonsince his own field is not conditioned.

“At first I didn’t give it as much importance as I think it is and has. In such a small town, nothing ever or almost never happens. Many years ago there was a big media stir because an idea like Las Vegas was going to be created here, but here. Gran Scala came, which they later took to Madrid. It was an impressive media boom. And this is making me remember all that again. Ontiñena is put back on the map for, a priori, something good. And without the a priori, I think this is going to be good,” Andrés Roda, the captain, commented to Relief.
