COMPETITION INFORMATION
The
Taça da Liga (League Cup), officialy known as the Carlsberg Cup
is a Portuguese League Cup competition originally proposed by Sporting
Lisbon and Boavista F.C. in 2006 and unanimously approved by all clubs
from the Portuguese professional leagues in a meeting in Porto on 28
November 2006. There will be 32 teams, the sixteen from the Portuguese
Superliga and the sixteen from the Liga Vitalis. The winner of this
cup will get a spot in the UEFA Cup. Since its inception in 2007, the
competition is named after its main sponsor, Carlsberg. Carlsberg has
signed a deal for the rights to name the competition through to the
end of the 2009/2010 season.
Format
In it's current format going forward, the first round will
consist of a single elimination round. In the first round, only Liga
Vitalis teams will play each other in a home and away contest. In the
second round, the eight winning teams will enter into a group stage
involving the teams placed 7th to 16th from the last season's Superliga
standings. There will be 6 groups of 3, each team playing 2 games, one
home and one away. The group winner will advance to a 3rd round involving
the top 6 teams from the last season's Superliga standings. There will
be 3 groups of 4 teams, each team playing 3 games. The winners of the
groups and the best second placed team will meet in the semi-finals,
in a single-leg game, with the winners advancing to the final to be
played March 22, 2009.
In it's first year, the first three rounds consisted of a single elimination round. In the first round, only Liga Vitalis teams would play each other. In the second round, the eight winning teams would face the eight worst seeded Superliga teams of the previous year (except the two relegated teams) plus the two teams that had earned promotion to the Superliga. By the third round, the remainig clubs plus the eight best seeded Superliga teams of the previous year would face each other in a single elimination round. Following that, a fourth round would take place, also in a single elimination round. After this, the four remaining teams would play each other in a group stage. The top two teams at the end of the group stage would face each other in the final.
