UEFA Europa League Portuguese Super Cup |
The Portuguese Football Cup Taça de Portugal is a football cup competition for Portuguese club teams that has been held since 1938 . It is organized annually by the Portuguese Football Association, the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF), and is the second most important title in national club football after the Portuguese championship .
The winner of the Portuguese Football Cup is determined according to the knockout system. All teams in the top four leagues are automatically qualified to participate. Then there are the regional champions of the previous season. If a game ends in a draw after regular playing time, there is an extension. If the game is not decided after extra time, the winner will be determined by penalty shoot-out.
The current title holder (2020) is FC Porto . Before that, Sporting Lisbon won 2019. The record winner is Benfica Lisbon with 26 titles.
history
In 1921, the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol laid the foundation for an official national soccer competition. Under the name Campeonato de Portugal (German: Portuguese Championship), the Portuguese champions were played in the knockout system from the 1921/22 to 1937/38 season. The team qualified for the competition via the regional championships.
From the 1938/39 season a turn-based league was introduced, which determined the master from then on. From then on, the competition was carried out under its current name ( Taça de Portugal ).
The final has been held in the Estádio Nacional do Jamor in Oeiras , near Lisbon , since 1946, with a few exceptions and without interruption since 1984 . In 2020, the final is to be played on August 1st at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra in Coimbra , as the Estádio Nacional has not been cleared by the health authorities due to a lack of hygiene facilities.
From the 2009/10 season until 2012, the competition is sponsored by the Millennium BCP . The cup will then be held under the name Taça de Portugal Millennium .
