BARCELONA (Reuters) - Clubs in the top two divisions of Spanish football have overwhelmingly voted against plans by the Spanish football federation (RFEF) to shake up the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga's organising body said on Wednesday.

RFEF president Luis Rubiales earlier this month revealed plans to turn the Super Cup -- the annual curtain raiser played between the winners of La Liga and the Copa del Rey -- into a tournament involving four teams to be played outside of Spain each January.
