While they locate the exact calendar, the RFEF offers a video introducing the 40 teams that will play this season in the First Federation
The chosen number is 80,696. In a few minutes they will say the pairs

Marco Moreno (Atletico Madrid B player)
Cristóbal Márquez (Fuenlabrada player)

In the introductory video, RFEF offered a ranking of the most beautiful goals in the League. According to his criteria, the most outstanding was Tomás Sánchez from Algeciras; followed by Cristian Herrera, from Sabadell.
At 12 o’clock the RFEF gives the signal and starts with the presentation of the new season of the First Federation with a video.
There are five cups on the stage of the Luis Aragonés Chamber. In each of them there are ten balls with numbers between 0 and 9.
Each innocent hand will draw a number, and the resulting number will determine which calendar combination will be selected, out of 100,000 possible options.
The entire process will be supervised by a notary public.
At 12 o’clock, the headquarters of the Royal Spanish Football Association in the sports city of Las Rozas will be the scene of the calendar draw of the two groups of the First Federation. Deportivo, Arenteiro, Lugo and Celta B will know the order of all their matches in the 38 days scheduled for the end of the competition. The draw is clean, and the calendar will be asymmetric (the order of matches in the first and second round will not match).
It should be recalled that the four Galician teams share a group with Castile-Leon’s Ponferrada, Cultu and Unionistas; SD Logroñés, Osasuna Promises; Basque River Sestao, Real Sociedad B and Real Unión; Madrid’s Fuenlabrada and Rayo Majadahonda; Aragonese Teruel and Tarazona; and Catalan Sabadell, Cornellá, Barcelona Athletic and Nàstic de Tarragona.
The first day of the First Federation will take place on the 26th and 27th of August, as planned, and will run non-stop on all weekends until the 17th of December, the date when the Christmas holidays begin.
Unlike previous years, both the first and second rounds of the Copa del Rey will take place on Wednesday, taking advantage of the festivities on November 1 and December 6. The return to competition is on January 3 (Wednesday), and the Three Kings weekend will be used to play the round of 16 of the Cup, and from then on, league competitions will be held again every Saturday and Sunday from January 12 to May 26, the date scheduled for the last day of the championship.
The teams classified between second and fifth place in each group will play a playoff for promotion to the Second League during the month of June. The semi-finals will be split between days 1, 2, 8 and 9, and the final between days 15, 16, 22 and 23.
