Participants
editAll clubs from the Russian Premier League, First Division and Second Division as well as amateur clubs compete for the Russian Cup.[citation needed]
Competition system
editThis section's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (November 2024) |
The competition is held under knockout format. Second Division teams start from 1/512, 1/256, or 1/128 final stage, depending on the number of teams in the corresponding Second Division zone. First Division teams enter the tournament at 1/32 final stage, and Premier League teams at 1/16 final stage. All ties are one-legged. The final tie is played as a single match; traditionally, it had been held in Moscow, but since 2009 has moved around the country. First round matches are usually played in April, with the final being played the following year in May, so each Russian Cup competition lasts for more than a year.[citation needed]
Finals
editThe Russian Cup has been played since 1992. The finals have produced the following results:
