Camp Nou to host Copa del Rey final

This season's Copa del Rey final between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla will be at Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium on a date to be determined.

The decision was published on the Spanish football federation's Web site on Tuesday, ending weeks of uncertainty.

The date will be determined after Atletico's Europa League semifinal against Liverpool on April 29 to avoid potential clashes.

It will be the third time the 98,000-seat stadium, inaugurated in 1957, will host a Copa del Rey final. The last was in 1990.

UEFA granted the stadium five-star status in the 1998-99 season, a classification it shares with only four other Spanish stadiums.
