About: Debenhams Cup

An Entity of Type: event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Debenhams Cup was one of several short-lived football competitions introduced in the 1970s and 1980s, along with the Watney Cup, Texaco Cup, Anglo-Scottish Cup, the Super Cup and Full Members' Cup. It lasted for just two seasons (1976–77 and 1977–78) and was competed for between the two sides from outside the top two divisions of the Football League to have progressed furthest in the FA Cup. If teams had made the same stage of the competition, a system was in place (beginning with replay eliminations being superior to going out at the first attempt) to determine which two would play in the Debenhams Cup – one of the first sponsored competitions in English football. This was the first time a sponsor had been associated with the FA Cup.
