Spain is gearing up for two significant women's football competitions this winter, showcasing the country's growing commitment to women's sports. The highly anticipated Supercopa de España Femenina will take place from January 20 to 24, 2026, at the Stadium Castalia in Castellón de la Plana. This event is organized through a collaboration between the Generalitat and the Royal Spanish Football Federation. The tournament will feature semifinals with Real Madrid CF facing Club Atlético de Madrid on January 20, and FC Barcelona competing against Athletic Club on January 21. The final is scheduled for January 24. The Castalia stadium, with a capacity exceeding 15,000, will host the matches, all of which will be broadcast live on RTVE. Luis Cervera, the Director General of Sports, noted the tournament’s rich tradition and highlighted the Valencian Community's role as a leader in organizing high-profile sports events in Spain.

In addition to the senior competition, youth football action is set to thrill fans with the XX Torneo Femenino de Fútbol de Navidad in Aretxabaleta, presented on December 16. The tournament will occur on December 29 and 30 at the Ibarra football field. The December 29 schedule includes matches for alevín, infantil, and benjamín categories, featuring local clubs such as Aloña Mendi, Bergara, Uda-Arizmendi, Mondra, Real Sociedad, and Goierri Gorri. On December 30, a triangular match will showcase cadete teams from the local region, a Gipuzkoa selection, and Real Sociedad. Key figures attending the presentation included Aretxabaleta’s mayor, Gari Iturbe, along with Garbiñe Etxeberria from Real Sociedad and representatives from Club Deportivo Arizmendi.

These events underscore Spain's vibrant and expanding women’s football scene across different age groups, promoting both established clubs and grassroots participation.
