German Cup
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:DFB-Pokal.jpg The German Cup (official German name: "DFB-Pokal", after Deutscher Fußball Bund Pokal or German Football Association Cup) is an elimination football (soccer) tournament held annually. It is the second most important national title in German football after the Bundesliga championship.
Each football club which participates in the German football league system is entitled to enter the tournament. The clubs of the lower leagues play in regional qualification rounds, with the winners joining the teams of the Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga in the main round of the tournament of the following year. Each elimination is determined by a single game held on the ground of one of the two participating teams. Since 1985 the final has been held each year at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
The first German Cup final was contested in the 1934-35 season between 1. FC Nürnberg and Schalke 04 and won 2:0 by Nürnberg. At the time it was known as the Tschammerpokal, named after Reichssportführer Hans von Tschammer und Osten. After a ten year interruption due to World War II, the West German Football Association re-introduced the competition in 1952. The most recent winner, in the 2004-05 season, is Bayern Munich, which also won the Bundesliga title.
East Germany also had its own national cup: the socialist-inspired FDGB Pokal (Freie Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund Pokal or Free German Trade Union Federation Cup) was introduced in 1949. It was awarded annually until 1991 after German reunification in 1990 led to the merger of the football leagues of the two Germanys.
Since 1981 women's football clubs have competed for the Women's German Cup (Frauen-DFB-Pokal).

Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich will attempt to take the cup for the 2nd straight year. By any reckoning, the Frankfurt side will have their work cut out for them if they hope to hoist their 5th all-time cup. In two Bundesliga matches this season, Bayern has outscored Eintracht by a 6-2 tally, including a 5-2 drubbing at Allianz Arena in late February. Eintracht can take satisfaction from the fact that they will earn an UEFA Cup berth win or lose, as Bayern is already mathematically assured of participating in the Champions League next season.
