Thomson Cup

Thomson Cup

The Thomson Cup is an amateur football cup played in Great Britain.

History

The Thomson Cup started in 2001 and encourages football teams from around the country to compete for a place in the final which is always played in a large stadium. The travel group Thomson Holidays have sponsored the cup since it began thus coining the name 'The Thomson Cup'

About the competition

The competition runs simliarly to the FA cup or the League Cup but doesn't have as many knock-out rounds. 32 teams are randomly picked from the entrants and the teams then play against each other usually under park conditions or town football pitches. 8 teams reach the quarter-finals, 4 teams reach the semi-finals and 2 teams reach the finals.
