The Spanish Football Federation has announced new dates for the 24 Copa del Rey first-round ties it postponed on Wednesday following the train collision in Toledo province, with nine of the ties rearranged for Thursday evening and the first round now set to conclude on 13 November.

Nine ties will be played on Thursday 29 October, all in Spanish mainland time: Peña Sport against Huesca and Numancia against Real Oviedo, both at 18:00; Poblense against Ceuta and Coruxo against Zamora, both at 19:00; Cieza against Granada at 19:30; Covadonga against Valladolid and Mijas against Jaén, both at 20:00; Gimnástica Torrelavega against Ourense at 20:30; and Xerez against Cádiz at 21:00.

The rearranged programme continues on Tuesday 3 November with Pamplona against Eibar and Anaitasuna against Alavés, both at 19:00. Seven ties follow on Wednesday 4 November: Portugalete against Real Unión at 19:00, Amorebieta against Logroñés at 20:00, Reus against Barakaldo, Utebo against Sabadell and Minera against Cartagena, all at 20:30, Puertollano against Albacete at 20:45 and Badajoz against Tenerife at 21:00. On Thursday 5 November, Tarancón face Levante at 19:00 and Alcoyano face Mallorca at 21:00.

The five ties involving top-flight clubs are spread across the final week of the rearranged schedule. On Tuesday 10 November, Trival Valderas Alcorcón face Leganés at 20:00 and Tavernes face Valencia at 21:00. Navalcarnero face Real Betis on Thursday 12 November at 19:00, and the first round concludes on Friday 13 November with Salamanca against Celta Vigo at 21:00.

The federation suspended all 24 of Wednesday’s first-round ties after two high-speed trains collided and derailed on the Madrid–Seville line near Urda, killing more than 60 people. The federation said it ordered the postponement “as a mark of respect and solidarity with all the victims.” Thursday’s programme will therefore be a busy one: the nine rearranged ties join the 14 ties already scheduled for Thursday, which the federation confirmed on Wednesday would go ahead as planned.

For the clubs involved, the new dates bring clarity after a day of uncertainty, but the calendar remains crowded, with league and European commitments filling the weeks around the rearranged ties. The first round began on Tuesday with 18 ties played before Wednesday’s postponements, and it will now stretch across more than two weeks before the competition can move on to the second round.
