Inter Movistar-Jimbee Cartagena and Jaén Paraíso Interior-ElPozo Murcia are the two great duels with which the Spanish Futsal Cup will start in Granada. The four best days of the year for futsal lovers will be experienced on Teledeporte and RTVE Play with the incentive of being able to once again enjoy a wide range of Euro Cup champions.
From Thursday to Sunday, the eight teams will seek to revalidate the title that Servigroup Peñíscola FS still holds, which they won in 2025 but will not defend the trophy in Granada because they were unable to qualify among the best eight.
It is the third time that the Nasrid city hosts this tournamentafter the 2009 and 2023 editions. In the first, Movistar Inter was proclaimed champion by defeating ElPozo Murcia 5-3, while in the most recent the victory went to Jaén Paraíso Interior FS, which won 3-1 and won its third title after those achieved in 2015 and 2018.
Barça and ElPozo, the favorites
FC Barcelona and ElPozo Murcia arrive at this 2026 edition as the two big favorites, both are seeded and would only meet in a hypothetical final. However, if there is a tournament for which being a favorite is of little use, it is the Cup.
The charcuterie team aspires hand in hand with Josan Gonzalez to lift the trophy sixteen years after their last victory, achieved in 2010. It debuts in the second round on Thursday, against the team that has the best victory in the Cup, Jaén Paraíso Interior.
The FC Barcelona of the former Murcian coach, Javi Rodriguezwill debut on Friday in the last quarterfinal match, at 9:30 p.m. against Viña Albali Valdepeñas.
7,500 spectators can fill the pavilion
One of the hallmarks of the Spanish Cups for 20 years is the yellow tide that drags the Jaén Paraíso Interior. About three thousand fans travel from Jaén to Granada despite the irregular streak, without victories since last January 6, in the Jaén league. They return to the city where they achieved glory in 2023, with the goal of changing its dynamics.
“The moment is not the best, but the Spanish Cup is different. Here everything is decided in details and in a single match everything can change,” said the coach. Daniel Rodriguez.
The competition will open at 6:00 p.m. with the duel between Movistar Inter and Jimbee Cartagena, a confrontation between the most successful club in the tournament, with eleven titles, and one of the most competitive teams on the current scene.
On Friday the quarterfinals will be completed with two other matches: Quesos El Hidalgo Manzanares will face Illes Balears Palma FS, the current European dominator, while Viña Albali Valdepeñas will face FC Barcelona Futsal.
Palma, despite its recent success in Europe, arrives with doubts after an irregular performance and with the stigma of not having won a national title, while Barça, second in the League with one game less, will seek to reaffirm its solidity in a competition that it has won seven times, the last in 2024.
The semifinals will be played on Saturday (6:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.), while the final will take place on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. at the Palacio de los Deportes in Granada, with capacity for 7,500 spectators.
Inter Movistar, the king of cups
The one in Granada will be the 37th edition of a tournament that has been held every year since 1990 and Inter, with 11 titles in 17 finals playedis the most successful club ahead of FC Barcelona, which has won seven trophies in nine finals. ElPozo appears third in that record with four wins in 16 finals played and then Jaén and Caja Segovia, with three and both having won all the games in which the title was played.
Marsanz Torrejón achieved two and one runner-up and the Spanish Cup was won on one occasion by six other teams (Servigroup Peñíscola, Valencia Vijusa, Maspalomas Sol de Europa, Sego Zaragoza, Lobelle de Santiago and Castilla La Mancha Talavera).
