Taça de Portugal

The Taça de Portugal is Portugal's premier knockout soccer tournament, featuring teams from various levels of the football league system. It operates as a single-elimination competition, where teams compete in successive rounds until two finalists face off in the final match. The tournament offers a route for lower-division clubs to compete against top-tier teams and often provides a qualification spot for the UEFA Europa Conference League. Its rich history dates back over a century, making it a prestigious and cherished part of Portuguese football culture, ultimately crowning the country’s national cup champion each season.
