The Gran Canaria Stadium is set to host the Copa de la Reina final this Saturday, an event that has already sold over 23,500 tickets and is aiming to break the all-time attendance record.

The island has fully embraced the football match between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. Local authorities have highlighted the social, economic, and cultural impact of hosting such a high-profile tournament, emphasizing the island's organizational capacity for top-tier sporting events.
Current ticket sales place the venue very close to surpassing the historical record of 25,617 spectators set at La Romareda during the 2024 edition. The success of the event has been driven by the collaboration between public institutions, the business sector, and football organizations.
During the official trophy reception, institutional representatives highlighted the role of sport as a tool for promoting equality and social cohesion. Furthermore, it was noted that such events strengthen the island's bid for future international fixtures, including the ambition to host European finals following the 2030 World Cup.
