The 1902 Copa de la Coronación was a football competition in honour of the coronation of Alfonso XIII of Spain. It was an unofficial competition, the Royal Spanish Football Federation do not recognize it as the first season of the Copa del Rey, which began the following year.[1]

The competition started on 13 May 1902, and concluded on 16 May 1902, with the Final, held at the Hipódromo in Madrid, in which Bizcaya lifted the trophy.

The competition was thought up after Carlos Padrós, later president of Madrid FC, suggested a football competition to celebrate the coronation of Alfonso XIII. Four other teams joined Madrid for the first competition: FC Barcelona, Club Español de Foot-Ball, Bizcaya (a combination of Athletic Club and Bilbao Football Club) and New Foot-Ball Club. The competition featured the first recorded game between FC Barcelona and Madrid FC, with the former emerging 3–1 winners. Bizcaya eventually beat FC Barcelona in the final.

Copa de la Coronación 1902 Winners
Bizcaya 1st Title

Consolation Trophy / Copa de la Gran Peña

Bizcaya did not participate because they had nothing to console, being champions of Copa de la Coronación.
FC Barcelona declined to participate because their players had to return to their occupations.
New Foot-Ball Club declined to participate due to the very poor level showed in the Copa de la Coronación.

Thus, the Gran Peña Cup was played as a single match between Madrid FC and Club Español. [6]
