History
The Champion's Cup was founded in 1970 by a group of amateur football enthusiasts. The league was originally called the Amateur Football Association Cup, but it was renamed the Champion's Cup in 1980. The first Champion's Cup final was held in 1971, and it was won by the London Corinthians.
The Champion's Cup has grown in popularity over the years, and it now has over 1,000 teams competing in it. The league is divided into regional divisions, and the winners of each division qualify for the Champion's Cup playoffs. The Champion's Cup final is held every year at a neutral venue.
Rules
The Champion's Cup is played under the rules of the Football Association. The matches are played over 90 minutes, with two halves of 45 minutes each. There is no extra time or penalties in the Champion's Cup, so if the match is tied after 90 minutes, it is decided by a penalty shootout.
The Champion's Cup is an amateur league, so there are restrictions on the amount of money that teams can spend on players and facilities. Teams are also not allowed to sign professional players.
