NFF Cup Information

NFF Cup Format

There will be a straight knock-out cup competition in NFF to supplement the league action.

The first round will involve eight Division 2 teams chosen at random. In the second round, the other 12 NFF teams will join the four first round winners in the draw. Extra-time and penalties will be used as tie-breakers if the scores are level at full-time.

The final will be played on neutral ground (home bonus in the game engine will be set to 0).

It must also be said I will take every effort to avoid having teams having to face more than two home or away games in a row, in interest of fairness.


NFF Cup Rewards
