Sporting de Hortaleza advances in Copa del Rey

Sporting de Hortaleza, a club competing in the Primera Autonómica of Madrid, has secured a historic advancement in the Copa del Rey. The team progressed following a controversial match against Unión Güímar, where they secured qualification after a 3-3 draw in extra time and leveraging a 1-0 result from the first leg after that match was initially suspended due to violent acts.

Following their qualification, the club's president, Miguel Romón, stated that the team is seeking a larger stadium to host their upcoming match against Sevilla FC. Romón noted that their current facilities lack the capacity required for a fixture against a club of Sevilla's stature. He suggested potential venues in the Community of Madrid, such as the stadiums of Leganés or CF Fuenlabrada, which offer capacities between 20,000 and 25,000 spectators.
