1941–47 FEF President Cup
The 1941–47 FEF President Cup (Spanish: Copa Presidente de la Federación Española de Fútbol de 1941-1947) was a football competition organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), who donated the trophy and organized the tournament. The tournament was held between 6 April and 4 May 1941, but one last match between Club Atlético-Aviación and Valencia CF, which was decisive for the final classification, was postponed and then various circumstances caused it to be delayed to 14 September 1947. It was won by Atlético, who was thus declared the winner six years after the start of the tournament, which makes the President Cup the longest tournament in the history of Spanish football.

It was contested by the champions of the League and the Copa del Rey and the two best teams classified after the champion in the 1940–41 La Liga, being therefore one of the precedents of the Supercopa de España (given its format with four teams, especially the format adopted by it in 2019).
