253 days and 29 matches have transpired since the commencement of the First Division League, yet for ATP Tudelano, Real Betis, and Family Cash Alzira, everything boils down to the final and intense 40 minutes of the season. Navarre, Seville, and Valencia will battle for survival, with only one team securing a spot. With Friday night witnessing Servigroup Peñíscola-Osasuna Magna (7-2), the remaining games will follow a unified schedule at 8:00 p.m. By approximately 10:00 p.m., the relegated teams will be known, making way for WanaPix Zaragoza, the Second League champion, and another team from the Silver category after a promotion playoff.
In Ciudad de Tudela, ATP Tudelano holds the advantage of controlling their fate. Winning their match ensures their elite status for the fifteenth consecutive season, without reliance on other results. Tied in points with Real Betis, but leading in goal average, they stand one point above Family Cash Alzira. Their opponent, Palma Futsal, fresh from their UEFA Futsal Champions League win, poses a formidable challenge. A win for ATP Tudelano secures their position, but a draw or loss could relegate them.
Showdown
Over 850 kilometers away, Real Betis and Family Cash Alzira face a direct showdown for survival in Amate, with a sold-out stadium and over 200 Valencian fans in attendance. Real Betis needs to outperform ATP Tudelano’s result to stay in the league, while a draw would suffice if ATP Tudelano loses. Meanwhile, Family Cash Alzira, in their debut season, must win and hope for no victory in Tudela to avoid relegation.
With the playoff spots settled, the last day determines the regular League champion and playoff matchups. Barcelona aims to reclaim the league title and secure European qualification. ElPozo Murcia Costa Cálida and Dani Martínez’s team vie for second place. Jaén Paraíso Interior is assured third place, while Movistar Inter seeks to secure their spot in fourth. The match between Jimbee and Albali Valdepeñas Vineyard in Cartagena determines their final positions and potential playoff matchups, following the reverse order of the standings.
