2024–25 Copa Catalunya Femenina
The 2024–25 Copa Catalunya Femenina began in September 2024 and will conclude in 2025, as the eighteenth edition of the Copa Catalunya Femenina. After two years focused on teams playing in the Tercera Federación (fourth national tier) and regional divisions, and being branded as an amateur competition, the 2024–25 competition once again allowed entry for teams that play in the top-tier national leagues.[1] Additionally, it is the first time that the competition will be run in both years of the football season it corresponds to, having previously been a summer tournament that took place during pre-season. While still operated as a single-elimination tournament, the bracket style used in 2023 has been replaced with a seeded format that introduces new teams in each round except the quarter-finals.
Defending champions SE AEM, who won in 2023 with their B team, were instead able to enter their first team – a parent club may only enter one team. Due to the format changes, the competition also saw the return of Europa, Espanyol, Levante Badalona, and ten-time champions Barcelona, for the first time since 2019.
