Format
editThe tournament begins with 22 teams entering the first round; five teams receive a bye to the second round.[2] In the first round, the ties are one-legged, and First Division clubs are drawn against Second Division clubs.[1]
The second round is contested by 16 teams: the ones which qualified from the first round, and those which were exempt from the first round. The ties in the second round are one-legged, and from this point onwards, there are no restrictions on the draws.[1] The ties in the quarter-finals are also one-legged. The semi-finals are the only round of the tournament, where the ties will be two-legged.[2]
The final is contested in a single game, and will take place at the GSP Stadium.[1] The winners qualify for the first qualifying round of the 2024–25 Europa League.
If, in any round, a winner is not determined after 90 minutes, the two teams play extra time. If a winner is still not determined after extra time, a penalty shootout takes place.[1] There is no away goals rule.
First round
editThe draw for the first round took place on 12 September 2024. The previous season's cup finalists (Pafos and Omonia), 2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifiers APOEL, and two clubs from the 2024–25 Cypriot Second Division (PAEEK and Spartakos Kitiou) received byes.[3]
