King's Cup (Bahrain)

King's Cup (Bahrain) - Bahrain’s primary domestic knockout cup competition, run under the national football association. Regulations: the tournament is played as a single-elimination knockout, with the list of entrants and the entry round approved for each season, and it typically includes clubs from the Bahraini Premier League and the Bahraini Second Division. Ties are usually decided in a one-off match, with the winner determined under the competition rules via extra time and, if required, a penalty shootout, while any home-and-away rounds use the aggregate score with a regulation-defined procedure to separate teams if level. The winner qualifies to represent Bahrain in the AFC Champions League Two, subject to the association’s slot allocation and club licensing rules if the berth overlaps with other qualification pathways.
