About Turkish Cup
The Turkish Cup (Turkish: Türkiye Kupası) is a men's football cup competition in Turkish football. It was established in 1962 and is run by the Turkish Football Federation.
A total of 158 teams from the top four leagues of the Turkish football league system and the Turkish Regional Amateur League compete in the tournament. The first round begins with 86 clubs from the TFF Third League and Turkish Regional Amateur League. The winners from this round progress to join teams from the Süper Lig, TFF First League and TFF Second League in the second round.
All the clubs that qualified for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League enter the Turkish Cup in the fourth round. After the fifth round, eight winners are drawn into two groups of four teams and play in a round-robin tournament. The winners and the runners-up of both groups are paired up to feature in a two-legged semi-final. Winners of the semi-finals play the final match at a neutral venue.
The ultimate champion earns a spot in the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League. It will also compete against the winners of the Süper Lig in the following season's Turkish Super Cup.
