TheCopa Real Federación Española de Fútbol, popularly known as theCopa Federación (Federation Cup) or CopaRFEF, is aSpanish football competition organised by theRoyal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). It has been held since the 1993−94 season as a tournament for smaller football clubs, with a format similar to that of theCopa del Rey.
It is contested annually by clubs fromPrimera Federación,Segunda Federación andTercera Federación that have not qualified for the Copa del Rey.
The competition is currently played in two phases. The first phase is organized at the regional level, following the regulations established by each autonomous federation. The second phase is national in scope and features 32 teams: the 20 best teams from the regional phase —one from each autonomous community, exceptAndalusia, which contributes two teams, plus one team each fromCeuta andMelilla—; five teams from Segunda Federación —the best team from each group in the previous season that did not qualify for the Copa del Rey—; and seven teams from the Tercera Federación —the second-placed teams from the previous season, regardless of group, with the best coefficients and without a Copa del Rey berth.
In the national phase, the 32 teams are divided into four groups of eight based on geographic proximity. Each group plays three single-elimination knockout rounds, with pairings determined by draw. The winner of each group advances to the final phase as a semi-finalist, and all four semi-finalists earn qualification for the Copa del Rey.
The current Copa Federación, created in 1994, is not considered by the RFEF the same as the original one. A similar competition with regional qualification tournaments for amateur clubs (including the affiliated teams of the professional clubs, such asReal Madrid C andFC Barcelona C), theCampeonato de España de Aficionados, operated from 1930 until 1987,[1] but is also considered to be distinct from the Copa Federación.
