 2023 Lebanese Federation Cup | |
The Lebanese Federation Cup (Arabic: كأس الإتحاد اللبناني) is an annual cup competition in men's domestic football in Lebanon. Organised by the Lebanese Football Association (LFA), it serves as the domestic league cup to the Lebanese Premier League and is contested before the start of each league season.
The cup was first held in 1969, with Shabiba Mazraa winning its first edition. After having been played in 1972, the Lebanese Federation Cup was halted for 27 years, before being contested in 1999. It was played twice more, in 2000 and 2004, before being halted once again until 2023.[1] In 2023, the Lebanese Federation Cup replaced the Lebanese Elite Cup and Lebanese Challenge Cup as the pre-season preparatory tournament.[2]
The tournament is played over two rounds: the first round is a single round-robin, in which 12 teams are divided into four groups of three. Four teams qualify for the second round, a knockout tournament with two semi-finals and a final.
