Barça Atlètic is currently competing for a playoff spot in Group 3 of Segunda RFEF. The team stands just one point behind Reus, who currently occupies a playoff position. Starting with an away game against Olot (Sunday, 18:00), Barça Atlètic has no room for error in the remaining matches if they want to secure a place in the promotion playoffs.
The playoff structure involves teams placed 2nd to 5th in each of the five groups (20 teams total) competing for five spots in Primera RFEF. The playoffs consist of two rounds: semifinals and finals, both played over two legs. The draw pairs second-placed teams against fifth-placed teams and third against fourth, rewarding better regular-season rankings.
Because of the uneven group distribution, there can be scenarios where second-placed teams meet in final rounds or where fourth-placed teams face stronger opposition early. Semifinals are scheduled for weekends of May 9-10 and 16-17, with finals on May 23-24 and 30-31.
This means Barça Atlètic must approach the closing fixtures in peak form with maximum points to guarantee playoff entry and a favorable seeding. Since promotion to Primera RFEF will elevate the club’s status and create vital opportunities for integrating La Masia youth talents, every match in the final phase is critical for the team and its fanbase.
