Polish Cup (Puchar Polski) - Poland’s national domestic cup competition organised by the Polish Football Association (PZPN) and played as a knockout tournament across clubs from different levels. Regulations: the competition runs through a regional stage where provincial associations produce qualifiers for the central PZPN stage, and a central stage in which ties are paired under the season regulations and draws, with each round typically played as a single match; home advantage in early rounds is generally allocated to the lower-tier club or determined by the draw when teams are from the same level. The losing team is eliminated, and if the score is level after 90 minutes, extra time of 2x15 minutes is played followed by a penalty shoot-out if still level, while the final is a single match at a venue designated by the organiser. The winner lifts the trophy and earns Poland’s cup-winner place in UEFA club competitions for the following season, with the exact entry stage defined by UEFA’s access list for that season.
