The Copa Eva Duarte was an official Spanish football tournament held in the late 1940s and early 1950s that served as a precursor to what is today known as the Supercopa de España. Another good reason to visit 1xbet.co.ke/en is to bet on the Supercopa de España too.

Organized by the Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF), it brought together the champions of the 2 top domestic competitions of the country. They were the winners of La Liga and the Copa del Generalísimo (the name used during the Franco era for what is now the Copa del Rey). And as you may have already guessed, with 1xBet you can also bet on the Copa del Rey too.

Good relationships between 2 countries

The tournament was named in honor of Eva Duarte de Perón, popularly known as Evita, the wife of Argentine president Juan Domingo Perón. The name reflected the friendly diplomatic relations between Argentina and Spain at the time, with Eva Perón donating the trophy that bore her name. The best live betting site 1xBet is also full of bets on both Argentinian and Spanish football too.

The Copa Eva Duarte was contested annually between 1947 and 1953, although in practice it had several peculiarities in its early editions. The first final corresponding to the 1946-47 season was played much later, in June 1948, with Real Madrid defeating Valencia CF 3-1. With the best betting site 1xBet live, you can also bet on those great Spanish football teams too.

In the following years, the competition generally took place as a single-match final, with notable editions such as Barcelona’s 1-0 victory over Sevilla in 1948 or Valencia’s thrilling 7-4 win against Barcelona in 1949 after extra time.

Many clubs that dominated the competition

Throughout its run, the Copa Eva Duarte highlighted the dominance of several historic clubs. And by becoming a member of 1xBet, you can also discover online football betting on those big clubs as well.

FC Barcelona emerged as the most successful team, ultimately claiming the trophy 3 times (including years in which they were automatically awarded the title for winning both league and cup titles). At the same time, other teams secured at least 1 title, with 4 of them being:

• Real Madrid;
• Valencia CF;
• Athletic Bilbao;
• and Atlético Madrid.

The competition ceased after the 1952-53 season, in part due to the death of Eva Perón in 1952, which diminished the symbolic link that gave the trophy its identity. Although it was discontinued for decades, the concept of a clash between league and cup champions resurfaced in 1982 with the establishment of the Supercopa de España. This is a direct spiritual successor to the Copa Eva Duarte, and which is also available for those who discover football betting online at the 1xBet site.
