Turkish Cup
The Turkish Cup is an annual football cup competition in Turkey, organised by the Turkish Football Federation since 1962. During a period of sponsorship by Fortis, the competition was temporarily known as the Fortis Turkish Cup. It is currently sponsored by the state-owned bank Ziraat Bankası and officially called the Ziraat Turkish Cup.
The tournament has been held under various formats, including a traditional knockout competition and group stages on an experimental basis. An expanded format was introduced for the 2012–13 season, with a record 156 teams participating. The structure included a round-robin group stage following five knockout rounds, with group winners and runners-up advancing to the semi-finals and final. The current holders of the cup are Galatasaray S.K..
Tournament format
The Turkish Cup currently involves 164 clubs, drawn from the top four tiers of the Turkish football league system as well as the Turkish Regional Amateur League. The winner of the competition qualifies for the play-off round of the UEFA Europa League and also competes in the Turkish Super Cup against the Süper Lig champions.| Round | Clubs remaining | Clubs involved | Winners from previous round | New entries this round | Leagues entering at this stage |

Trophy and prize money
The Turkish Football Federation awards the Turkish Cup trophy to the winners of the final. Both winners and runners-up receive 50 medals each. Prize money is also distributed, with payments based on reaching a particular round rather than winning matches, except in the final where the runners-up receive less than the champions.The total prize fund amounts to approximately US$10.5 million. In addition, as a mark of honour, the cup-winning club wears a roundel of the Turkish flag during the following season.
