MADRID (Interstat) — Youth sides Getafe and Inter Valdemoro will open their Copa del Rey Juvenil campaigns on Tuesday in a Madrid-area derby that pits a struggling senior club’s academy against a local opponent seeking a signature victory.

The match, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, at Inter Valdemoro’s facility, is the first in the Spanish youth knockout tournament for both teams this season. Both sides hold 0-0 records in the competition, though Inter Valdemoro has a draw in its overall campaign.

Getafe’s U-19 squad arrives following a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao’s youth team last Saturday. That result snapped a three-match losing streak across all competitions for Getafe’s academy, which had previously fallen to Osasuna and powerhouse clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Despite the recent win, Getafe’s form has been inconsistent, with a record of 3-4-2 across all competitions.

Inter Valdemoro, in contrast, has played just one official match this season, a 1-1 draw with Universitario on Sept. 27. The team will look to leverage its fresh legs and home-field advantage against a Getafe side that may be looking ahead to a crucial league derby against Girona just three days later.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, a result that would force a penalty shootout to determine which club advances to the next round of the Copa del Rey Juvenil.
