We will keep dreaming of the Cup in March against REBI Cuenca

REBI Cuenca will be our opponents in the second round of the 2026 Copa de S. M. el Rey, following today's draw conducted by the RFEBM.

The single-leg tie will be played next Wednesday 25 March at the Pabellón Port de Sagunt, with the time yet to be confirmed.

In this way, red-and-white supporters will be able to enjoy watching their team for at least one more round, making a minimum of two this season after several years without doing so.

The Puerto Sagunto side will once again face a team from Castilla-La Mancha, having surprised BM Caserío Ciudad Real (30–20) in the previous round, also at home, on 5 November. Despite being played midweek, the match attracted a strong response from the fans.

For their part, the Cuenca side will face a División de Honor Plata team for the second time. One day before the Puerto Sagunto side, they defeated Club Balonmano Alcobendas 23–36 away at the Pabellón de los Sueños.

The Castilla-La Mancha side are not experiencing their best moment, either on the sporting or non-sporting front. In terms of results, they have gone five consecutive matches without a win and sit ninth in the Liga Nexus Energía ASOBAL with ten points, just two above the play-out places and direct relegation to Plata. Beyond the 40×20 court, their new board, led by Ricardo Lozano, recently revealed the critical financial situation threatening the club's viability.

Both squads will arrive at the tie with more rest than usual, as this will be the first match for either side after the international break. On the same weekend as the cup competition, both teams will have to travel in their respective regular leagues: the Valencians will travel to Soria, while the Cuenca side will go to Valladolid.

The club will soon announce on its social media channels the final kick-off time and the ticket purchasing process for supporters wishing to attend.
