Athletic and Real Sociedad to contest Euskal Herria Txapela on two October at Anoeta | OneFootball

Real Sociedad and Athletic will meet in the Euskal Herria Txapela final on two October at 19.00, with Anoeta hosting.

According to El Correo, the match falls in the first international break, so neither side will have their internationals available.

Before then, Edin Terzic's side face another derby, against Alavés in La Liga, at San Mamés on Saturday 19 September from 16.30 onwards.

Last season's final at Lasesarre pitted Athletic against Osasuna, the Navarrese winning 1-0. Athletic and Osasuna top the roll of honour with three titles each, while Real Sociedad and Eibar have one apiece.

Spain play Czechia at home on three October and Croatia away on 10 October in the Nations League. Barring surprises, Luis de la Fuente is expected to retain Simón, Laporte, Nico and Oyarzabal.

Athletic return to La Liga duty on 10 October with a trip to Rayo. It remains to be seen whether the fixture will be staged in Vallecas, as Rayo have so far hosted matches away from their own ground.
