The United Football League FA League Cup, commonly known as UFL FA League Cup, was a Filipino association football competition. It was played on a multistage format that culminates in a knockout stage (single elimination). Clubs that were eligible to compete for the cup were those who then played in the United Football League's two divisions.[1] The only edition of this tournament was part of the 2014–15 United Football League season, preceding the league proper and the ULF Cup, the pre-existing and separate cup tournament.[1][2]
2014 edition
The 2014 United Football League FA League Cup was the first and only edition of the tournament. The competition started on September 20 and ended on November 6, 2014.[3]
Competition format
The 14 clubs were separated into two groups of seven, where the top four advanced to the quarterfinals. Separate draws took place before the quarterfinals and semi-finals to determine which clubs will face off.[4]
