The Taça de Portugal
Taça de Portugal is the oldest football tournament of the country, which has been organized annually since 1922. It’s second in order of importance in Portugal and the most large-scale one. All members of the Football League of Portugal (4 top divisions), as well as regional football tournaments winners (about 160 teams in total) compete for the trophy. Unlike other top European championships, it’s not allowed for farm clubs (B) to take part in the Taça de Portugal, that’s why the number of participants is always different.
The Taça de Portugal Regulations
The competition is held simultaneously with the main championship and starts in late July – early August. The tournament format suggests seven rounds. The National Championship of Portugal (the 4th strongest division out of several groups and 20 district cup winners) representatives compete in the first round. 25 best teams move on to the next round being joined by the Segunda Liga clubs.
