2025: Aragón keep Regions' Cup in Spain

There was a new venue for the UEFA Regions' Cup in 2025 as San Marino, after a historic qualification, staged their first entire UEFA final tournament at any level, but Spain's domination of the European amateur title continued as Aragón ensured the same nation won the competition for the second edition in a row for the first time.

Galicia had been champions at home in 2023, but were not to represent Spain in the following edition as Aragón beat them 2-1 in the national qualifying final to earn their own European debut. After winning all their three intermediate round games with 15 unanswered goals, Aragón topped their group in San Marino and then beat twice champions Dolnośląski Region of Poland 1-0 in the final with a Daniel Torcal goal in added time of extra time.

San Marino, who like Malta enter a national rather than regional amateur squad into this competition, qualified for their first UEFA final tournament of any kind and drew 1-1 on Matchday 1 with Serbia's FA of Vojvodina, Samuel Pancotti equalising for the hosts.

Aragón were held 1-1 by a late Hradec Králové equaliser but then beat San Marino 1-0 while Vojvodina came from behind to defeat the Czech representatives 2-1 deep in added time. That meant a straight decider for the final place and Aragón prevailed 3-0 with two Chegu goals, though Vojvodina claimed bronze for second in the group as Hradec Králové defeated San Marino 1-0.

Dolnośląski, the first distinct region to qualify five times, and with four players returning from the team that claimed their second title in 2019, were to reach a record third final with a game to spare. They defeated Switzerland's Vaud and Croatia's Rijeka 1-0, and celebrated by beating first Finnish qualifiers Länsi-Vantaan Ylpeys 2-1.

Länsi-Vantaan Ylpeys had drawn 1-1 with Rijeka but then lost 3-2 to Vaud, though nearly overturned a three-goal half-time deficit. In the decider for bronze, Vaud led Rijeka 2-0 at half-time but the Croatia side were to win 3-2, Marino Matković scoring twice in added time.

After the epic final, which prevented Dolnośląski from claiming a historic third title, Spanish regions had now claimed the trophy on four occasions (after Basque Country in 2005, Castilla y León in 2009 and Galicia in 2023) to Italy's three. Spain's teams had now made six finals and claimed eight medals, both twice the next best figures) while Aragón themselves matched the record of Italy's Veneto, who won the 2013 title conceding just one goal, including qualifying.
