Israel State Cup

The State Cup (Hebrew: גביע המדינה‎‎, Gvia HaMedina), is a knockout cup competition in Israeli football, run by the Israeli Football Association. The State Cup was first held in 1928 as the People's Cup. Because it involves clubs of all standards playing against each other, there is the possibility for "minnows" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament, although lower division teams rarely reach the final. The holders of the State Cup are the Israeli Premier League side Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona, who beat Maccabi Netanya in the 2014 final on 7 May 2014.
