Aragon tournament Four teams joined the tournament: Binéfar (5), Ejea (4), Épila (5) and La Almunia (5). A two-round mini-league will be played, with the top two finishers qualifying for the final.
As it turned out, all four matches played ended in 0–0 draws. Consequently, every team finished with two points and an identical goal difference. To break the tie, the results of penalty shootouts had to be taken into account. Binéfar won both of their shootouts, thereby finishing as the undisputed leader. However, Ejea and Épila each won one penalty shootout, resulting in a tie for second place. Since the Ejea team won the penalty shootout against Épila, it initially appeared they had secured a spot in the final. However, it has since been clarified that the tie is absolute and they needed a tiebreaker match, played in Épila 27 August, drawing 0–0 again and Ejea winning 5–4 in penalty shootout.
