The1910 Copa del Rey Final (UECF) was the 8th final of the Spanish cup competition, theCopa del Rey (although technically there was no final, with the tournament being played as a mini-group of three teams). It was one of two rival Cup competitions played in that year due to disagreements between the tournament's reigning champion,Club Ciclista de San Sebastián, and some of the clubs invited.[1][2]
This was the "unofficial" competition, organised by the UECF (Unión Española de Clubes de Fútbol), inSan Sebastián. Both its winner and that of the rival, the newly created FEF (Federación Española de Fútbol), laterRoyal Spanish Football Federation (Spanish:Real Federación Española de Fútbol,RFEF) inMadrid played two months later, are currently recognised as official by the RFEF.
The final was contested byAthletic Bilbao (then known as Athletic Club) andVasconia, and was held atOndarreta Stadium,San Sebastián on 20 March 1910. Athletic won the trophy for the third time in their history after defeating Vasconia 1–0, with the only goal of the game being scored byRemigio Iza.[3][4][5]
The tournament is believed to have been the first time Athletic Bilbao wore what became their regular red-and-white striped jersey, having recently imported the first set of kit from England (along with a set for their sister club, later known asAtletico Madrid).[2]
