Athletic And Barcelona Will Ask For Bernabéu Final

Athletic mentioned that they wanted to change the venue after their semifinal win against Sevilla on Wednesday. The motion for this to happen will be discussed on the 11th in an extraordinary session of the RFEF. Mestalla was selected as the site for this year’s Copa final by unanimous decision as a way to celebrate the club’s 90th anniversary.  The precedent of clubs wanting to change venues is not a foreign concept.  Last year Valencia wanted the site to be changed from the Vicente Calderón to the Santiago Bernabéu as well.  That proposal was shot down by the RFEF.  According to reports on Saturday, The RFEF will most likely shoot this one down as well.
