The Korea Football Association FA Cup is Now Called the Korea Cup
THE KOREA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION FA CUP IS NOW CALLED THE 'KOREA CUP'... THE FINAL IS HELD IN SEOUL
“Confusion because the name is similar to the English FA Cup… Decided considering representation and symbolism.”
The name of the Korea Football Association (FA) Cup, the highest level Korean soccer tournament encompassing professional and amateur competitions, will be changed to 'Korea Cup' starting this year.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 22nd, "We have decided to change the name of the FA Cup to the Korea Cup."
The official name of this year's competition is '2024 Hana Bank Korea Cup'. 파워볼사이트
The association has used the name FA Cup ever since it founded this competition in 1996.
However, the name was the same as the English Football Association (FA) Cup, which often caused confusion, and the need to change the name has been consistently raised as the identity of the soccer competition in Korea has not been revealed.
Not only Korea and England, but also other countries are holding cup competitions to determine the champion of all adult soccer teams, both professional and amateur.
France will host the tournament under the name 'Coupe de France', Italy will hold the tournament under the name 'Copa Italia', and Spain will hold the tournament under the name 'Copa del Rey'.
The association said, "Most people use the name of the country or a symbol representing national authority as the name," and added, "After reviewing various candidates, we decided to use the name Korea Cup considering the purpose of representing Korean soccer and external symbolism."
Not only the name but also some of the progress method has changed.
In most competitions so far, the semifinals were single-game and the finals were home-and-away.
However, starting this year, the semifinals will be played home and away, and the final will be a one-off match.
The finals are now regularly held at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
The association explained that this is to establish a tradition of determining the final winner at a stadium representing Korean soccer, just as England's FA Cup is held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, the mecca of local soccer.
Video review (VAR), which was introduced only in the finals of last year's competition, will be implemented from the quarterfinals to improve the fairness of decisions.
The number of player substitutions, which was 3 per game until last year, will also increase to 5, reflecting recent trends.
When going into overtime, one more player can be replaced here.
In addition, the association announced that, after consultation with the Korea Professional Football League, qualification for participation in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League was confirmed.
If the team that wins the Korea Cup ranks in the top 4 in K League 1, it will be eligible to participate in the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) in the 2025-2026 season.
The winning team of K-League 1, the highest league, and the winning team of the Korea Cup each receive one ticket to ACLE.
Qualification for the ACLE playoffs is given to the next ranked team in K League 1.
The next ranked team receives ACL2 qualification.
However, if the Korea Cup winning team is ranked 5th or lower in K-League 1, the 1st and 2nd-place teams in K-League 1 will take turns qualifying for the ACLE Finals, and the 3rd-place team will head to the ACLE playoffs.
In this case, the Korea Cup winning team will participate in ACL2 instead of ACLE.
A total of 60 teams, including the defending champion Pohang Steelers, will participate in the 2024 Hana Bank Korea Cup.
The first round, in which teams from the 3rd to 5th divisions participate, will be held on the 9th and 10th of next month.
The first round draw will be held at the Soccer Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul at 2 p.m. on the 23rd.
