The Copa de la Reina is Spain’s premier national cup competition in women’s association football, organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). It is open to clubs from the top two divisions of Spanish women’s football. First established in 1983, the tournament has been played annually since then, although some editions were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the years, several leading clubs have lifted the trophy, including Barcelona and Levante.
The Copa de la Reina is widely regarded as an important platform for women’s football in Spain, offering clubs and players the chance to gain competitive experience at a national level. By bringing together teams from the top two divisions, it helps showcase emerging talent alongside established squads. The tournament also contributes to the visibility and development of the women’s game in Spain, strengthening pathways for players aiming to compete at higher levels.
