Villarreal Femenino begins its Copa de la Reina dream against Balears FC

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General9 September 2026 at 09:00

Villarreal Femenino officially began its new sporting project under the leadership of coach Jordi Ferrios, with high expectations for the season. The first test of this new phase takes place this Wednesday at 6:30 PM, when the team will face Balears FC at the Malferit facilities, in a match corresponding to the First Round of the Copa de la Reina.

The encounter is played in a single-match knockout format, which means Villarreal Femenino will have to show its best football from the first whistle to advance in the tournament and extend its participation in the competition. This direct elimination format increases the pressure on the team, which will not have a second chance in case of defeat.

The club arrives at this competition with good feelings after the pre-season, seeking to consolidate the work carried out during the preparatory training sessions. Coach Jordi Ferrios has set high objectives for this new project, which promises to be ambitious and competitive throughout the season.

The knockout match against Balears FC thus represents the first major challenge for Villarreal Femenino to demonstrate its ambitions and the quality of its new sporting project, in a week that promises intense emotions for the team's fans.
