Our cup campaign will begin in Oviedo

Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto now know their opponent, Confía Base Oviedo, in the first phase of the LII Copa de S. M. el Rey following today's draw, held at the headquarters of the Royal Spanish Handball Federation from 13:00.

Under the established competition format, the red-and-whites were in Group “B”, made up of the teams finishing 3rd and 4th at the end of the DHPM League Championship, the teams promoted to and relegated from DHM, together with the teams finishing 9th to 14th at the end of last season's DHM League.

Therefore, the team from Puerto de Sagunto had to face one of the clubs in Group “B”, which included the Men's Silver Honour Division teams for the 2026/2027 season, except those relegated from the Men's Honour Division and those finishing 3rd and 4th at the end of the DHPM League Championship, twelve teams in total.

Following the draw, the Valencians were paired with Confía Base Oviedo. This First Round will be played at the home venue of the Group A teams, over a single match. No match may end in a draw: in that case, the provisions of the current R.P.C. will apply, with a single-match knockout system (two five-minute periods of extra time and, if the tie persists, a seven-metre shoot-out). The winner of this tie will qualify for the Second Round of the competition.

Therefore, Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto will visit Confía Base Oviedo at the Municipal Sports Centre in Vallobín next Wednesday, 28 October, with the time still to be confirmed.
