Historic day for Atlètic Sant Just, legendary club of the Tournament
The Catalan club, one of the most emblematic teams of the Donosti Cup with over 15 participations and an impressive track record, faces today the greatest challenge in its history: taking on a La Liga team in the Copa del Rey.
The modest team from Baix Llobregat is playing a match it will never forget against RCD Mallorca, a Primera División side, in the first round of the Copa del Rey. A duel with a “David versus Goliath” feel that perfectly reflects the spirit of a club born from effort, passion, and love for football.
Founded fifteen years ago by a group of parents, Atlètic Sant Just has become a benchmark in Catalan youth football and one of the most beloved and successful teams in the Donosti Cup. Its connection to the tournament is very special: since its founding in 2010, the club has participated in every edition up until last year. In 2026, they will return to Donostia, reaffirming their commitment to a tournament they consider part of their history.
In today’s squad, there are players who grew up competing in the Donosti Cup, such as Jan González, who was once the tournament MVP and has now returned as a coach. Additionally, several club members have participated in multiple editions of the Donosti Masters Cup with their veterans’ team.
This afternoon, at the Municipal Stadium of L’Hospitalet, Atlètic Sant Just faces its greatest sporting challenge: taking on a rival from the elite of Spanish football. But beyond the result, the match represents a recognition of the hard work, values, and philosophy of a club that was created to shape people through sport and that today reaps the rewards of so many years of dedication.
From Donostia, the Donosti Cup family proudly follows this great moment of one of its most historic teams. Whatever the score, you are already champions!
