Hessian Cup
Football tournament
The Hesse Cup (German: Hessenpokal ) is one of the 21 regional cup competitions of German football . The winner of the competition gains entry to the first round of the German Cup .
History
The Cup was established in 1945, after the end of the Second World War , in the state of Hessen , which then was part of the US occupation zone in Germany .
The Hessen Cup is played annually.
From 1974 onwards, the winner of the Hessen Cup qualified for the first round of the German Cup.[ 1]
Modus
Professional clubs are not permitted to enter the competition, meaning, no teams from the Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga can compete.
In 2008–09, the best 15 teams of the regional cups in Hesse qualified for the first round of the Hesse Cup. All clubs from Hesse playing in the Regionalliga and below take part in these competitions. Additionally, Kickers Offenbach and SV Wehen Wiesbaden are the two clubs from Hesse in the 3. Liga , so they qualify directly for the Hesse Cup.
The final is played at a neutral location but the two finalists can agree to play the game at one of the two clubs home ground.
Cup finals
Held annually at the end of season, these are the cup finals since 1945:[ 2]
