# Tasmanian association football cup competitions

The Football Federation of Tasmania organises several annual Tasmanian association football (soccer) cups and tournaments alongside the regular league competitions that they also run. The first cup competition in Tasmania was the Falkinder Cup, which began in 1913. For nearly 60 years it was the state's premier football cup tournament but was eclipsed by the Statewide Cup and the pre-season Summer Cup. Various Cups and trophies have come and gone, and currently, the main non-league tournaments in Tasmania are the Statewide Cup (currently known as the Milan Lakoseljac Cup), and the three pre-season tournaments, the Summer Cup (south), the North West Summer Cup (North West), and the Steve Hudson Cup.

## Milan Lakoseljac Cup

The male Statewide knock-out cup which is run annually with clubs from Northern and Southern Leagues is named the Milan Lakoseljac Cup (also known as the Statewide Cup). It was previously known as the Ampol Cup for sponsorship reasons between 1964 and 1976, before reverting to the Statewide Cup from 1977 to 1999. In 2000 the trophy was renamed in honour of Milan Lakoseljac (1947–1999), a former Glenorchy Knights (then known as Glenorchy Croatia) striker who died at the age of 52 in 1999. Milan was known as one of Tasmania's finest players of the era, and whilst representing Glenorchy Croatia he was the top goalscorer in Southern Tasmania in 1971, 1973, 1974, 1979 and 1981. He was also awarded the competition's best and fairest award in 1971 and 1973. During his time at Glenorchy, they won a Southern Championship and overall state championship double three times (1970, 1974 and 1975).
The competition is a knockout cup competition with matchups played over one leg. The competition consists of initial qualification rounds involving the teams from the lower divisions, with teams from higher divisions entering in later rounds. Clubs from all leagues within the Tasmanian league system are eligible to enter, although each club can only enter one team. Clubs are not separated geographically. Clubs are matched up based on the random draw involving clubs from all over the state.
Although they ran concurrently from 1963 to 1970 the Ampol Cup eclipsed its historical southern rival, the Falkinder Cup, and replaced it entirely in 1970 as Tasmania's premier knockout cup football competition. Since 2014, this knockout competition has been the qualification route for the single Tasmanian federation representative for the FFA Cup, now known as the Australia Cup.
