TurkeyTUR Kupası: The Turkish Football Federation Cup

Historic Prestige and European Reward
First held in 1962, the cup has a rich history, with clubs like Galatasaray, Beşiktaş, and Trabzonspor featuring prominently on the honor roll. Winning the cup is a major achievement, often celebrated as fervently as a league title, especially for clubs outside the traditional "Big Three" of Istanbul.
