Israel State Cup
Encyclopedia
The State Cup is a knockout
cup competition in Israeli football
, run by the Israeli Football Association
.
The State Cup was first held in 1927–28 as the Palestine Cup. Because it involves clubs of all standards playing against each other, there is the possibility for "minnow
s" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament, although lower division teams rarely reach the final. The holders of the State Cup are the Israeli Premier League side Hapoel Tel Aviv, who beat Maccabi Haifa
in the 2011 final on 25 May 2011.
Maccabi Tel Aviv have 22 titles, having the record for most titles won. Hapoel Tel Aviv in 1937–1939 is the only club to have retained the State Cup for three consecutive seasons.
Each tie is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn, the game is settled with extra time and penalty shootouts
, though until 1964 replays would be played until one team was victorious. Some ties took as many as three matches to settle.
There are a total of 12 rounds in the competition—nine rounds, followed by quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. The competition begins in September. which are contested by the lowest-ranked clubs. Clubs playing in the Liga Alef
are given exemption to the Fifth Round, and Liga Leumit
teams are given exemption to the Eighth Round. The 16 winners from that round join the 16 clubs from the Israeli Premier League, at which point there are 32 teams remaining in the competition.
As well as being presented with the trophy, the winning team also qualifies for the UEFA Europa League. If the winners have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League
via the Israeli Premier League, the UEFA Europa League place goes to the State Cup runners-up. If they also have qualified for the UEFA Champions League, the place goes to the next highest placed finisher in the league table.
For the final, the two winning teams of the semifinal return to Ramat Gan, with the winning team being awarded the State Cup from the president. The president's role is traditional, and entered the Israeli sports lexicon, with meeting the president being an expression equal to saying winning the cup.

The draw
The draw for each round, performed by drawing the clubs name from a jar, is a source of great interest to clubs and their supporters, and is broadcast live on the internet. Sometimes two top clubs may be drawn against each other in the early rounds, removing the possibility of them meeting in the final. Lower-ranked clubs with reputations as 'giant-killers' look forward to meeting a top team at home, although in some cases the expense of providing policing for a game can outweigh any financial windfall from larger crowds. Mid-ranked teams hope for a draw against a peer to improve their chances of reaching future rounds. Top-ranked teams look for easy opposition, but have to be on their guard against 'giant-killers' and lower teams with ambition. The balls are being drawn by the officials of the Israel Football Association.Semifinal & Final
The semifinals and the finals are traditionally held in the national Ramat Gan Stadium in the middle of the week (Tuesday or Wednesday). The semifinals take place on the same day, with the stadium split to four sections for each supporter set, and a single ticket valid for both matches – the fans can enter the stadium whenever they want to, and stay for the second game if they wish. This practice is known in Israel as hatzaga kfula (lit. double show), and was common in Israeli football in the past, but today is present only in the cup semifinals, which makes the event one of the most anticipated in Israeli Football, perhaps not less than the final itself. The match considered more interesting to the public is usually the second, and considered the "peak" of the evening.For the final, the two winning teams of the semifinal return to Ramat Gan, with the winning team being awarded the State Cup from the president. The president's role is traditional, and entered the Israeli sports lexicon, with meeting the president being an expression equal to saying winning the cup.
