Villarreal Women will face Osasuna Women in a 180-minute playoff to secure a spot in the First Women's Division, with the first leg scheduled for this Saturday at 4:00 PM in Tajonar.

The team led by Jordi Ferriols faces a crucial challenge in their aspiration to ascend to the top category of women's football. This season's precedents are favorable, as the Vila-real team won 0-2 in Tajonar and 2-1 in Vila-real.
The first leg of the semifinal will be played this Saturday or Sunday in Tajonar, while the return leg will be seven days later at the Mini Estadi in Vila-real. This is the first hurdle on the path to promotion, as, if they overcome this round, Villarreal Women will have to face the winner of the other tie, which pits Valencia Féminas against CD Alba FF, in the final.
The final will also be played over two legs. If the opponent were Valencia, the first leg would be played in Vila-real. If it were CD Alba FF, the first match would be at the Andrés Iniesta Sports City and the return leg at the Mini Estadi. If in either of the matches of both rounds (semifinals and final) there is a draw at the end of regular time, there will be a 30-minute extra time, and if the tie persists, the winner will be decided in a penalty shootout.
