The1913 Copa del Rey comprised two different competitions held the same year.
Due to disagreements between the Federación Española de Clubs de Football (FECF), forerunner of theRoyal Spanish Football Federation (Spanish:Real Federación Española de Fútbol,RFEF) and some clubs, in 1913 two parallel competitions were held: an "official", organized by the FECF (Federación Española de Clubs de Football), inMadrid and an "unofficial", organized by the UECF (Unión Española de Clubes de Fútbol), inBarcelona. Both are currently recognized as official by theRFEF.
