The KNVB Cup
The KNVB Cup is a national tournament of the Netherlands, which has been held annually since 1899. The first two divisions representatives, 24 teams out of third division six groups and several clubs from the lower Eerste Klasse league participate in the tournament. The Cup competition is conducted alongside the main championship, beginning in mid-August and ending in early May. The KNVB Cup winner gets a ticket to the third qualifying round of the Europa League play-off, as well as competes for the Johan Cruyff Shield.
The KNVB Beker Regulations
The tournament consists of seven rounds; the draw of each of them takes place shortly before the scheduled date of the contest. Two top divisions representatives enter the competition in the second round. All teams play one match up to the final.
