Vicente Calderon to host Copa del Rey final

After plenty of debate and speculation, the Copa del Rey final is set to be played at the Vicente Calderon.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has confirmed the Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Sevilla will be played at Atletico Madrid's Vicente Calderon on May 22.

There had been much debate over where the final would be played, with Real Madrid apparently unwilling to allow its rival to defend the competition at the Santiago Bernabeu despite Barca's apparent preference for the capital-based venue.

The Calderon and Valencia's Mestalla stadium were both mooted, with the RFEF confirming the former is to be used while the date is also pushed back.
