Football competition in Western Australia
Football tournament
The Football West State Cup is a soccer competition held between clubs in the Australian state of Western Australia, known as the Belt Up Cup for sponsorship reasons. It serves as preliminary rounds for the Australia Cup , previously known as the FFA Cup, with the 2 finalists also entering the final stages of that competition.
Several knockout competitions have been held since 1895 in various forms,[ 1] Challenge Cup , from 1903 to 1959 as the Challenge Cup and Shield , between 1960 and 1995 as the D’Orsogna Cup , and since that time with a number of naming rights sponsors.
The other major knockout competition in Western Australia was the Charity Cup , held between 1903 and 1961. This was considered the pre-eminent cup competition prior to the Second World War.[ 1]
Since 2014, this knockout competition has also served as preliminary rounds for the Australia Cup , previously known as the FFA Cup, with Western Australia represented by the 2 finalists, along with the A-League club Perth Glory FC .[ 2]
[ edit ] The current format is also a qualifying completion for the Australia Cup , previously known as the FFA Cup, where both the finalists qualify for the Round of 32.
