The Taça

da Liga (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈtasɐ ðɐ ˈliɣɐ]), known outside Portugal as

Portuguese League Cup, is an 🏀 annual club football competition organised by the Liga

Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional (LPFP) for teams competing in the top two 🏀 tiers of

Portuguese football – the Primeira Liga and Liga Portugal 2.[1] Unlike Portugal's other

domestic cup competition, the Taça 🏀 de Portugal, the winners of the Taça da Liga do not

qualify for European competitions.

The Taça da Liga was established 🏀 in the 2007–08

season, thus becoming the third official competition for professional clubs in

Portugal,[1] after a proposal by Sporting 🏀 and Boavista was approved by LPFP members on

28 November 2006. For sponsorship reasons, it is currently known as Allianz 🏀 Cup (with

the English word cup).

Benfica are the most successful team in the competition, having

won seven trophies (four of 🏀 which consecutively between 2008 and 2012). The current

holders are Porto, who defeated Sporting CP in the 2024 final to 🏀 secure their first

title.

Format [ edit ]

The Taça da Liga format has suffered changes throughout the

competition's history in order 🏀 to increase the number of matches and also revenue for

both clubs and LPFP. Starting in the 2024–22 season, the 🏀 format is the following:

First

round – One-legged ties between all Segunda Liga teams (except reserve or B teams), the

ten 🏀 Primeira Liga teams ranked 7th–16th in the previous season, and the two teams

promoted from the Segunda Liga, with the 🏀 winner advancing to the next round.

For 2024–23, due to 🏀 fixture

congestion surrounding the 2024 FIFA World Cup, all Segunda Liga and Primeira Liga

teams (except reserve or B teams) 🏀 were placed into 8 groups (6 groups of 4 teams and 2

groups of 5 teams), with the group winners 🏀 advancing to the knockout phase, consisting

of quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final. All knockout stage games are one-legged

fixtures, with 🏀 the semi-finals and finals still played in a neutral ground. All group

stage games and the quarter-finals were played during 🏀 the international break

surrounding the World Cup.
