The euphoria in Alcoy has not lasted too long. After the cup draw, which again faced the Real Madrid many in the city of Alicante uncorked the cava. Again the bank team and again a party at Collao. But knowing the schedule and the day set by the RFEF the downturn has been considerable. Even from the consistory a change of dates will be requested. Toni Francés, mayor of the city has already announced that they will work together with the club to try to change the meeting time. The reason? the oldest Three Kings parade in the world dating from 1885.
The Three Kings Night Parade in Alcoy, declared of National Tourist Interest It is, together with the Moors and Christians festival, the most important event of the year. The parade, which is attended by thousands of citizens and tourists, takes with it, in terms of participation, many citizens, since It is a parade of more than four hours that starts at six in the afternoon and usually ends after ten at night.
The problem is that Real Madrid has a league commitment on January 2 (Getafe), it will play again on January 8 (Valencia) and on January 10 it will go to Arabia for the Super Cup. Therefore, it seems difficult to be able to move the game from day to Thursday the sixth as intended from the Alcoy City Council. Without a doubt, a difficult situation to solve.
A blow for the fans
The schedule is a hard blow for the fans and inhabitants of Alcoy who Last season they could no longer attend the match due to strong COVID restrictions that were lived at that time. Only a privileged few could be present in the historic victory against those of ZIdane.
