Encyclopedic overview
The Taça de Portugal ( Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈtasɐ ðɨ puɾtuˈɣal]; lit. 'Cup of Portugal') is an annual association football competition and the premier knockout tournament in Portuguese football. For sponsorship reasons, it has been known as Taça de Portugal Generali Tranquilidade since the 2024–25 season. Organised by the Portuguese Football Federation since it was first held in 1938, the competition is open to professional and amateur clubs from the top-four league divisions. Matches are played from August–September to May–June, and the final is traditionally held at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras, near Lisbon.
The cup winners qualify for the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira (or the runners-up, in case the winners are also the league champions) and the UEFA Europa League. The Europa League berth is passed down the contemporaneous Primeira Liga table if the cup winner had already qualified for the UEFA Champions League.
