2025–26 Cypriot Cup for lower divisions

The Cypriot Cup for lower divisions, formally known as the Cypriot Coca-Cola Cup of Third Division and STOK Elite Division (Greek: Κύπελλο Κύπρου Coca-Cola Γ΄ και Επίλεκτης Κατηγορίας ΣΤΟΚ) for sponsorship purposes, is a Cypriot knockout football club competition, hosted annually by the Cyprus Football Association.[1][2]

History

The Cypriot Cup for the lower divisions was created by the Cyprus Football Association and first held in the 2008-09 season. Digenis Morphou and Ermis Aradippou are the only clubs who participated in both cup competitions finals (Cypriot Cup & Cypriot Cup for lower divisions). Digenis Morphou is the only club who won this cup competition more than once. [3]

Format

Participation in this cup is optional, so the number of participating clubs differs each year. The competition is a knockout tournament. The matches in the first two rounds are single-legged, and the matches in the quarterfinals and semifinals are two-legged. The final is a single match played at a neutral ground. The winner and runner-up of the cup receive a respectable amount of money from the CFA as a bonus. The sponsor of the competition is Coca-Cola.
