2012 Copa de la Reina de Fútbol
The 2012 Copa de la Reina de Fútbol was the 30th edition of the Spanish women's football national cup. It took place between 8 and 10 June in RFEF's Ciudad del Fútbol in Las Rozas, and it was contested following the end of the 2011–12 Primera División as a final four by the top four teams in the table,[1] a major cut from the previous edition's fourteen contestants. On April 8, defending champion FC Barcelona became the first team to qualify for the competition.[2] Athletic Bilbao and RCD Espanyol also qualified in subsequent weeks, and Rayo Vallecano clinched the last spot by earning a 1–1 draw against contender Levante UD in the final date.[3]
