Real Betis Balompie Spanish Cup - Copa del Rey Tickets

Real Betis Balompie have had a taste of winning the Copa del Rey in the past, although they are a side that are determined to add to their trophy cabinet as it has been a while since they tasted that glory. The Seville based outfit have a very passionate fanbase and one that has continued to grow over the years, which is hardly a surprise as the 60,720 capacity Estadio Benito Villamarín is an incredible venue for football matches in any competition to be held in on matchdays.

The Andalusian outfit have had some success in domestic football in past and that will have been down to some of the players they have been able to boast about having in their squad. Perhaps one of the most famous men to have worn the Green and White jersey, Joaquín is an iconic figure for Real Betis Balompie, whilst men such as Marc Bartra, William Carvalho, Nabil Fekir, Sergio Canales and Borja Iglesias have all featured in recent seasons as well.

Real Betis Balompie tasted success in the Copa del Rey in 1976–77 and 2004–05, and have also managed to reach the final on two other occasions; having been beaten in the 1931 and the 1996–97 editions of the competition.

Nevertheless, recent performances in the competition have perhaps left an expectant and passionate fanbase left wanting, as the club have found it difficult to get past the quarter-final stages of the competition on a number of occasions.

However, with that said, apart from the win in 2004-05, their run to the semi-final in the 2018-19 campaign could be considered one of their most memorable accomplishments in recent Copa del Rey action.

Real Betis Balompie beat Racing Santander, Real Sociedad (on away goals), RCD Espanyol after extra-time before losing 3-2 to Valencia CF in the semi-final of the competition.

Indeed, their 2004-05 run to the final, and eventual win, will resonate more as a memorable achievement, with the club having overcome the challenges of CD Mirandes, UDA Gramenet, Athletic Club Bilbao via a penalty shoot-out and CA Osasuna after extra-time.
