Cup weekend in Spanish field hockey. From Friday to Sunday, both the Queen’s and the King’s will be aired, with the Club de Campo de Madrid as the venue in both cases and almost all tickets sold.

Cristina Guinea, a former international, analyzes in a note released by the RFEH what this new edition can give of itself in which “any result is possible and each game is a final.” “A good approach, a high intensity and a concentration that lasts 60 minutes of play are the key to these matches,” he explains, and focuses on two games: the Terrassa derby and the Junior-Club de Campo. For his part, Nacho Usoz, the coach who will comment on the Copa del Rey on Teledeporte, like Guinea, considers that the menu for these three days is “classy”.
