Prime Minister's Cup (Turkey)
Football tournament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prime Minister's Cup (Turkish: Başbakanlık Kupası) was a football competition organised by the Turkish Football Federation in Turkey. It began in 1944 and continued until 1950 as a unique kind of super cup competition between the winners of the Turkish Football Championship and the Turkish National Division.[1] It was one of the earliest super cups in the world.[2] In 1966, the Turkish Football Federation restarted the competition as a final game between the winners of the second division and the Turkish Amateur Championship and maintained this system until 1970. From 1971 to 1998 the competition was contested between the runners-up of the Super League and the Turkish Cup.[3][4]
