Bulgarian Cup All Winners (1938-2024)

The Bulgarian Cup is the premier knockout football competition in Bulgaria, organized by the Bulgarian Football Union. It was first contested in 1944 and is one of the oldest and most prestigious tournaments in Bulgarian football. The competition features teams from various levels of the Bulgarian football pyramid, with the top clubs from the Bulgarian First League competing alongside lower-tier teams. The format typically involves a series of single-elimination rounds, culminating in a final where the winner is crowned the Bulgarian Cup champion. The victor earns a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League, providing a pathway to European competition.

Over the years, the Bulgarian Cup has seen dominance from the country’s top clubs, with CSKA Sofia, Levski Sofia, and Ludogorets Razgrad often featuring prominently in the later stages. CSKA Sofia holds the record for the most titles, followed closely by Levski Sofia. While the tournament has historically been an important part of Bulgarian football, it has also been marked by occasional surprises, with smaller clubs occasionally making deep runs. The Bulgarian Cup is viewed as an opportunity for clubs to add silverware to their collections and secure European competition, especially for those not winning the league title.
