Hong Kong FA Cup - an official domestic knockout cup competition in Hong Kong, China governed by The Football Association of Hong Kong, China (HKFA). Regulations: the entrants are the clubs participating in the Hong Kong Premier League and the competition is played as a single-match knockout, with pairings decided by draw, while the previous season’s semi-finalists are treated as seeded teams and enter at a later round as set out in the season regulations. Each match is 90 minutes, and if level it goes to extra time of two 15-minute periods, followed by a penalty shoot-out if still level. The winner lifts the FA Cup trophy and typically qualifies for the AFC Champions League Two via the association’s allocation and eligibility requirements.
