Ziraat Turkish Cup: Dates Set for Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals, and Final
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has announced the schedule for the Quarter-Final, Semi-Final, and Final matches of the 2025/2026 Ziraat Turkish Cup. The competition, officially known as the Ziraat Turkish Cup due to sponsorship from Ziraat Bank [1], is set to culminate in a final match on May 24th.
Key Dates
- Quarter-Finals: April 21, 22, and 23
- Semi-Finals: May 12, 13, or 14
- Final: May 24
The venue for the Final match will be announced at a later date by the TFF [2].
Potential Schedule Adjustments
The TFF has indicated that these dates are subject to change. If Turkish teams competing in UEFA European Cups advance to the Round of 16, potentially causing a postponement in the 27th week of the Trendyol Super League, the Ziraat Turkish Cup schedule will be re-evaluated. Any adjustments will be made to accommodate the UEFA commitments and the Super League schedule [2].
Recent History
Galatasaray were the champions of the 2024-25 Turkish Cup, securing their 19th title, defeating Trabzonspor in the final [1]. Beşiktaş were the defending champions of the previous edition but were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Göztepe [1].
Competition Format
The 2024-25 Turkish Cup saw a change in competition format, featuring five qualifying rounds followed by a group stage – a format not seen since the 2016-17 season. The group stage consisted of four groups of six teams, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarter-finals [1].
