Villarreal Femenino drawn away to Balears FC in Copa de la Reina | OneFootball

Villarreal Femenino, led by Jordi Ferriols, will begin their 2026/27 Copa de la Reina away to Balears FC. According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the draw hands the Castellón side a trip to the Balearic Islands.

The match is set to be played at Campo Malferit in Palma de Mallorca on one of the official dates, 8, 9 or 10 September 2026.

Balears FC compete in the Segunda Federación. Villarreal carry the tag of favourites because of the divisional gap, yet cup football often springs surprises.

This opening round is a single match. If the 90 minutes end level, the game goes to extra time, then penalties if needed.

Last season, Villarreal cruised through round one by beating CD Alba FF 4-1, before exiting in the second phase after a 1-3 defeat to Valencia Féminas FF.

Ferriols and his staff are already planning workloads for a physically and mentally demanding September. The team aim to take their attacking edge on the road and set the tempo from the first whistle.
