COMPETITION INFORMATION

History

The first incarnation of the Taça was in 1912, but very few clubs could participate and thus it was not a regular competition, the fact which ended it in 1918, the Portuguese Federation don't take in account its existence. It was named "Taça do Império" since S.C. Império organised it (do not confuse with Taça Império, which was the inaugural game at the National Stadium where the Champion and the Cup winner played against each other). In 1921 the the "National Championship" was created and was played every season with all the clubs participating in elimination rounds, the winners were named Champions of Portugal and it was the primary tournament in Portugal, more important than the round-robin competition itself created in the late 30's. For the 1938/1939 season, the name was changed for "Taça de Portugal" (Cup of Portugal) and the tournament turned into the second-most important in Portugal. It is organized by the Portuguese Football Federation (Federação Portuguesa de Futebol) and is played by all the teams in the four national divisions (Liga, League of Honour, Second Division and Third Division). Also the runners-up of each regional football associations local championships from the previous season will have a place in the first round.

As of 2007, the cup is comprised of 9 rounds (final included), with 1st level clubs joining at the 4th round, the 2nd level clubs joining at the 3rd round, the 3rd level clubs joining at the 2nd round and the lower level clubs competing from the beginning.


The venue

The final game has been played at the Estádio Nacional in Jamor, near Lisbon since 1946 with an exception for the year of 1961 (albeit Estádio das Antas being the home of F.C. Porto, an agreement was made between the two sides, since it was also quite nearer for Leixões S.C. to play), in the three years following the Carnation Revolution and in the season 1982/83, due to F.C. Porto pressure. In the years next to the Carnation Revolution, the venue of the final game would be at the home ground of the team that won the Portuguese Cup the previous year (note that when Boavista F.C. won the Cup two times in a row, the final of the next years were in Estádio das Antas (F.C. Porto's home ground at the time), since the Estádio do Bessa (Boavista's home ground) was too small to host the final and both teams were from the same city, Porto).
