Mittelrheinpokal History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage
The Mittelrheinpokal, known as the Middle Rhine Cup in English, is one of German football’s 21 regional cup competitions. This tournament is contested by teams from the Middle Rhine region of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Clubs from fully professional leagues – i.e. the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga – are prohibited from participating. The Middle Rhine Cup acts as a qualifier for the DFB Pokal, Germany’s premier cup competition.
