Path of RPL

Path of Regions

Russian Football Cup 2024-2025 is the 33rd all-Russian soccer tournament under the auspices of the RFU, which will be held from July 23, 2024 to June 1, 2025. 108 teams (RPL, FNL, LFC and MFL) will take part in the tournament.

The tournament grid is divided into two paths: “RPL” and “Regions”. At the first stage, the “RPL” teams go through the group stage, consisting of six rounds (on the system “each with each” in two rounds). The top two teams advance to the playoffs of the RPL pathway, while the third place winners advance to the playoffs of the Regions pathway. The fourth place winners leave the tournament.

At the first stage of the Path of Regions, the teams play six rounds in a one-match cup system (from 1/256 to 1/8 finals). Only 4 teams from the Way of the Regions advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. If a match ends in a draw in the playoffs, a penalty shootout is immediately awarded, no extra time is played. In two-match confrontations of the RPL pathway, a penalty shootout can only be awarded on the aggregate of two games. In the play-off round, the away goal rule does not apply.

The quarterfinals and semi-finals of the Regions pathway consist of two rounds. In the first round, teams play against the third-placed teams in the group stage of the RPL pathway. In the second round, the winners of the first round meet the “losers” in the quarterfinals of the RPL pathway.

Thus, the teams eliminated from the RPL pathway get a chance to continue fighting for the Cup of Russia in the lower grid of the Regions pathway, except for those who lost in the finals, as the Regions pathway finals consist of one match. The winners of each pathway meet in the Super Final.

Russian Cup Scheme 2024-2025

In total, the Regions pathway teams can play a total of 12 games for the tournament, while the RPL pathway teams can play a total of 13 games. The detailed scheme is presented below.

The winner of the Super Final, in addition to the 17-kilogram Cup, the title and a significant cash prize (≈75 million rubles), gets the right to play in the Super Cup of Russia, and, if Russian teams are admitted to UEFA tournaments, gets the right to play in the Europa League from the 4th qualifying round.

The Russian Cup has been held since 1992, and its winners are among the country’s most titled clubs. The trophy is a crystal bowl with silver elements, decorated with decorative elements and the emblem of the Russian Football Union.
