The Bulgarian Cup, officially known as the Купа на България (Kupa na Bulgaria), is the premier national knockout football competition in Bulgaria. Established in 1938, it stands as one of the country's oldest and most prestigious football tournaments, offering a direct route to European competition for its winner. The competition's history is intertwined with the political and social changes in Bulgaria. It was not held consistently in its early years, with interruptions during World War II and the subsequent communist era. Following the fall of communism, the tournament was re-established in its modern format in 1990. The structure is a straightforward single-elimination knockout tournament, with matches typically played over one leg, except for the final, which has often been a two-legged affair in recent decades. The number of participating teams varies each season but generally includes all clubs from the top two professional divisions, along with amateur teams from lower leagues who qualify through preliminary rounds, often totaling over 50 teams. Historically, the competition has been dominated by the two Sofia giants, CSKA Sofia and Levski Sofia, who hold the record for most titles. Other notable clubs with significant cup history include Litex Lovech, Botev Plovdiv, and Lokomotiv Plovdiv. The tournament has been graced by Bulgaria's most famous players early in their careers, including Ballon d'Or winner Hristo Stoichkov and Manchester United legend Dimitar Berbatov, who both featured in cup matches for CSKA Sofia. In the current competitive landscape, while the Sofia clubs remain the perennial favorites, the cup is seen as a realistic target for ambitious teams from other cities, providing a chance for silverware and a European spot. An interesting fact is that the trophy itself has undergone several design changes, and the competition's format has occasionally been tweaked, including periods where the final was held as a single match at the National Stadium in Sofia. The Bulgarian Cup continues to be a cherished tradition, celebrated for its giant-killing potential and its role in crowning a national cup champion each season.
