MADRID (Reuters) - The Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) said on Tuesday it will organise a revamped Super Cup to take place outside of Spain from next January and revealed sweeping changes to the Copa del Rey which is set to reduce fixture congestion.
"The president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, told members at a board meeting today about the project we are working on to redesign the current formats of the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey," said a statement on the federation's website.
"The Copa del Rey will switch formats to single-game ties played at the ground of the weaker team until the semi-final stages." The shifting of the tournament to January comes after the initial plans were criticised by La Liga's organising body due to the potential for a scheduling conflict with the start of the new season.
He opposes La Liga’s plans to play Spanish top flight games abroad and his organisation blocked a proposal to move last January's game between Girona and Barcelona to Miami.The RFEF added that teams competing in the Super Cup will earn a bye to the last 32 of the Copa del Rey, with each tie apart from the semi-finals being played over one game at the ground of the smallest side.
