Israel Cup

The Israel State Cup (Hebrew: גביע המדינה, Gvia HaMedina), is a knockout cup competition in Israeli football, run by the Israel Football Association (IFA).

The State Cup was first held in 1928 as the People's Cup. Because it involves clubs of all standards playing against each other, there is the possibility for "minnows" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament, although lower division teams rarely reach the final.

The last below the top-flight club to make the final was Maccabi Netanya in 2014, they have since been promoted to the Israeli Premier League.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva are the current Israel State Cup holders, having beaten Beitar Jerusalem 2–0 in the final for their fourth title.

Maccabi Tel Aviv have 24 titles, holding the record for most titles won. Hapoel Tel Aviv in 1937–1939 and 2010–2012 are the only club to have retained the State Cup for three consecutive seasons.

The Israel Cup, also known as the Israel State Cup, is a prestigious knockout football tournament held annually in Israel. Organized by the Israel Football Association, it features clubs from various divisions across the country competing for the coveted trophy. The tournament showcases the best of Israeli football talent, offering exciting matches from the early rounds to the final. The Israel Cup holds a rich history, serving as a platform for emerging teams to make their mark and providing fans with thrilling football action.
