Barcelona will have home advantage for its Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao after Spain 's football federation voted on Wednesday for the Nou Camp as the venue . Both finalists had originally asked to play the May 30 decider at Real Madrid 's 81,000-seater Santiago Bernabeu stadium . The Nou Camp will host this year 's Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao on May 30 . However , the venue for Copa finals must be offered voluntarily and Madrid made no such offer . After two hours of talks failed to resolve the issue , the federation 's executive committee took a vote from four stadium options : Barcelona , Bilbao , Valencia and Sevilla . The Camp Nou , with its maximum capacity of 98,700 , was chosen ahead of Bilbao 's 53,300-capacity San Mames stadium in the final round of voting . Both finalists wanted to play at the Santiago Bernabeu - but Real Madrid never volunteered their venue .
