Wikipedia - Coppa Italia
Coppa Italia (lit. 'Italy Cup') is the annual domestic cup of Italian football. The knockout competition was organized by the DDS and the Lega Calcio until the 2009–10 season and by Lega Serie A ever since.
Juventus is the competition's most successful club with fifteen wins, followed by Roma and Inter Milan with nine. Juventus has contested the most finals with 22, followed by Roma with 17 finals. The holder can wear a cockade of Italy (Italian: coccarda), akin to the roundels that appear on military aircraft. The winner automatically qualifies for both the UEFA Europa League league phase and the Supercoppa Italiana the following year.
History
The beginning of the tournament was turbulent, due to the complexity of the participation of the teams in the tournament, since its inception in 1921, the Italian championship was divided into two groups. On the one hand the rich CCI Championship (Italian Football Confederation) and on the other the poor FIGC championship (Italian Football Federation). Losing all its most prestigious clubs, the FIGC tried to enhance its rump season with a new cup. The tournament's first edition held in 1922 was won by F.C. Vado. The following agreement between the contenders did not contemplate a cup that, outside a failed 1926–27 tournament which was cancelled during the round of 32, was not held until 1935–36. The events of World War II interrupted the tournament after the 1942–43 season, and it did not resume again until 1958. Since then, it has been played annually or seasonally.
The eight seasons during the fascist period were contested copying the FA Cup format. There was a different trophy, and the winners were awarded the tricolour scudetto while the championship winners obtained a Savoyard scudetto instead. The present-day cup and cockade were introduced in 1958.
The competition typically begins in the fall and culminates in a grand final held in the spring, often at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Teams compete in a series of single-elimination rounds, with the excitement building as clubs vie for the coveted trophy. The tournament not only offers a chance for top-tier teams to claim silverware but also provides lower-division clubs with the opportunity to create memorable upsets and showcase their skills on a national stage.
The Coppa Italia is known for its passionate matches, dramatic moments, and the fervent support of fans. Winning the tournament not only brings prestige but also secures a place in the UEFA Europa League, adding an extra layer of motivation for participating teams. With its rich history and thrilling encounters, the Coppa Italia remains a highlight of the Italian football calendar, celebrating the spirit and passion of the beautiful game.
