Football tournament
The Taça de Portugal ( portuguese pronunciation : [ ˈtasɐ ðɨ puɾtuˈɣal ] ; “ Cup of Portugal ” ) is an annual association football competition and the chancellor hard tournament in Portuguese football. For sponsorship reasons, it has been known a Taça de Portugal Placard as of the 2015–16 season. Organised by the Portuguese Football Federation since it was first held in 1938, the rival is candid to professional and amateurish clubs from the top-four league divisions. Matches are played from August–September to May–June, and the final is traditionally held at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras, near Lisbon. The winners qualify for the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira ( or the runner-up, in case the winners are besides the league champions ) and the UEFA Europa League ( unless they already qualify for the UEFA Champions League through league place ). Before 1938, a alike competition was held since 1922 under the diagnose Campeonato de Portugal ( english : championship of Portugal ), which determined the home champions from among the different regional championship winners. The constitution of the Primeira Liga, a nationally league -based competition, as the official domestic championship in 1938, led to the conversion of the Campeonato de Portugal into the main domestic cup competition, under its current appointment.

history [edit ]

Replica of the Taça de Portugal trophy foremost awarded to Académica de Coimbra in 1939. The beginning incarnation of a Portuguese Cup began in 1912, as an invitational tournament organized by SC Império ; it was named after the organize cabaret, as “ Taça do Império ” ( not to be confused with a similarly named, but unrelated, Taça Império – the one-off trophy for the inaugural address pit at the National Stadium on 10 June 1944 ). Because of its close format, with very few clubs taking part, the portuguese Federation does not recognise it as a truthful “ national cup ” ; it ended in 1918. The inaugural season of the “ Campeonato de Portugal ” ( Championship of Portugal ) took place in 1921–22, and this contest was played every season until 1937–38. The original format had all the clubs participating in regional leagues, with the regional winners progressing to knock-out rounds, and the ultimate victors named Champions of Portugal. This was the primary tournament in Portugal, until the creation of the round-robin rival in 1934-35 – in fact, the Champions nickname of this early period can be mislead, as the modern concept of “ champion ” applies to the league supporter ( i.e., for statistical purposes, the winners of this Campeonato de Portugal are no longer counted among portuguese League champions ). The short-change period of coexistence between two championships meant considerable confusion, and was pointed as a reason for miss of competitiveness in contemporary external matches – therefore, a vamp was bound to happen. The success of the older competition meant it was carried over after the reorganization of Football competitions in 1938–39, albeit losing its top condition : the ( round-robin ) league carried the appoint Campeonato ( or, in its longform, “ Campeonato Nacional district attorney Primeira Divisão ” ), and the old Campeonato de Portugal was renamed “ Taça de Portugal ” ( Portuguese Cup ) for the 1938–39 season. The Cup soon became the second-most important trophy in Portuguese football. The Cup is organised by the Portuguese Football Federation ( Federação Portuguesa de Futebol ) and is played by all teams in the Primeira Liga, Segunda Liga ( excluding the B team ), Campeonato Nacional de Seniores ( excluding reserve teams ), 22 District Championships runner-up and by 18 District Cups winners.

Final venues [edit ]

The final match has been played at the Estádio Nacional near Lisbon in Jamor every temper since 1946, except in 1961 ( in a rare happening, Estádio das Antas was chosen as a more commodious venue for both Leixões and FC Porto, despite being the home plate of the latter ; an agreement was reached by both teams due to geographic proximity and capacity ) ; in the three years following the Carnation Revolution ; in the 1982–83 temper, due to FC Porto ‘s coerce. In the years following the Carnation Revolution, the venue for the final match would be the home grate of the team that had won the portuguese Cup the previous year ; however, when Boavista won the Cup doubly in a row, its home ground ( Estádio do Bessa ) was deemed excessively small and the matches were rather played in Estádio district attorney Antas ( FC Porto ‘s home ground at the prison term ).
