KNVB Cup 2008–09

The KNVB Cup (Dutch: KNVB beker) is a competition organized by the Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) since 1899. It was based on the format of the English FA Cup. Outside of the Netherlands it is often referred to as the Dutch Cup. The tournament consists of all teams from the top two tiers of Dutch league football (Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie), as well as the top four teams from each of the six third tier of Dutch football (Hoofdklasse), while the remaining teams are drawn from the fourth tier (Eerste Klasse). The finals of the tournament traditionally takes place in De Kuip, and has been held there every season since 1988. The winners of the cup compete against the winners of the Eredivisie for the Johan Cruijff Shield, which acts as the curtain raiser for the following season.

[edit] History

The competition was conceived during a board meeting of the Dutch National Football Association, in the Hague, on January 19, 1898. The tournament begin the following season, 1898–1899. With the first final being played on May 9, 1899 between RAP Amsterdam and HVV Den Haag. In 1946, the trophy was changed to one made out of silver, which was extremely rare in the immediate aftermath of World War II.

[edit] Name changes

Like many national cup competitions, the name of the tournament has changed with sponsorship. From 1995 the competition went from being the 'KNVB Cup Tournament' to being known as the 'Amstel Cup' after the then sponsor Amstel. On August 16, 2005 the name was changed to the 'Gatorade Cup' after the drinks company Gatorade. In 2006, the name returned to being the 'KNVB Cup Tournament' with Gatorade remaining as the principle sponsor.

[edit] European Competition

Up until 1998 the winner of the cup entered into the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but with the abandonment of that tournament, the winner now goes into the UEFA Cup. If the winning team has won the Eredivisie and thus entry into the UEFA Champions League then the beaten KNVB Cup finalist will take the place in the UEFA Cup.

In 1998 both teams in the KNVB final, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, had won places into the Champions League. So a game was played between the beaten semi-finalists, SC Heerenveen and FC Twente, to determine who would take the Cup Winners' Cup place.
