2013 Provinces' Cup |
The Provinces' Cup (Gerenian: Zare'ad Proziwi) is a semiprofessional football competition in Gerenia. The tournament is contested by eight teams, each representing the provinces of Gerenia, as one of them is the host.
History
The Provinces' Cup was created in late 2012 by the Gerenian Football Association (SZŽ) in order to encourage people in the whole territory to play the sport, especially in the interior.
The SZŽ chose Maremedres to host the first edition of the Provinces' Cup, which is going to take place during mid-2013.
Format
The eight teams are split in two groups of four, with each team playing their rivals twice. The best two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals. The winners advance to the final. Both the semi-finals and the final consist on single-legged matches.
All the provincial teams qualify automatically for the tournament. This is reflected in the Cup's logo: eight bands that represent the provinces:
- Green: Adarma
- Yellow: Barzat
- White: Clements
- Blue: Isherwood
- Sky blue: Maremedres
- Red: Ramez
- Purple: Sängeran
- Orange: West.
Squads
Each team is required to submit a twenty-three-men squad, with three goalkeepers. Professional footballers (those who play in either the Gerenian League 1 or the League 2, or abroad) are not allowed to take part in the competition. Foreign players are also ineligible for representing any province.
