Poland Cup 2007/2008 Season Competition Format
The Polish Cup in football (Polish: Puchar Polski) is an elimination tournament for Polish football clubs, held continuously from 1950, and is the second most important national title in Polish football after the 1st league (or "Ekstraklasa") title.
Participation is open to any club registered with the Polish FA, regardless of whether it competes in any league in the national pyramid. Reserve and oldboys teams are also eligible, with reserve teams particularly reaching the final on two occasions (and winning it once).
Lower league clubs have to enter regional qualification rounds and the winners of these join the teams from the first and second division in the competition proper. Each tie is decided by a single game which is held at the lower league side's stadium. The final use to be a single match, but 2002-2006 it was contested over two legs, Italian style.
