- FBUs Pokalturnering (unofficial English translation: FBU Cup or Funen Cup) was a Danish regional knockout association football competition contested annually from 1920 to 1953 by members of the regional football association Funen FA (FBU). Organised by and named after FBU, it was the third regional cup competition introduced on a national level, and the second in the province, after the KBUs Pokalturnering in 1910 and the in 1915. The 1953 season of the cup tournament became the last edition due to the Danish FA's introduction of a new national-wide cup competition in 1954. For the most part, the matches in the competition took place during the course of the fall season, beginning in the summer months with the first round, and culminating in a final match later in the same half season, but due to scheduling issues some finals and replay matches were not played until the following year. Despite a modest start for the tournament, several cup matches evolved into major events, receiving much media coverage at both regional and national level, becoming topics of prolonged conversation in the local community and marking cities and villages for a few days.
