The Copa Real Federación Española de Fútbol, popularly known as the Copa Federación (Federation Cup) or Copa RFEF, is a Spanish football competition organised by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). It has been held since the 1993−94 season as a tournament for smaller football clubs, with a format similar to that of the Copa del Rey.

The Copa Real Federación Española de Fútbol trophy
It is currently played in two phases: a first phase of autonomous nature, according to the rules established by each autonomous federation, and a second phase of national nature in which the twenty best teams of the autonomous phase participate -one for each autonomous community, except Andalusia, which has two teams, plus one for Ceuta and one for Melilla - plus five teams from Segunda Federación -the best team from each group in the previous season that did not qualify for the Copa del Rey- plus seven teams from Tercera Federación -ranked second in the previous season, without distinction of groups, with the best coefficient and that did not obtain the right to participate in the Copa del Rey- making a total of 32 teams.
In the national phase, the 32 teams are divided into four groups of eight teams according to proximity criteria, with three single-leg knockout rounds to be played by drawing lots. The winner of each group in the play-offs becomes a semi-finalist to play in the final phase and the four semi-finalists qualify for the Copa del Rey.
The current Copa Federación, created in 1994, is not considered by the RFEF the same as the original one. A similar competition with regional qualification tournaments for amateur clubs (including the affiliated teams of the professional clubs, such as Real Madrid C and FC Barcelona C), the Campeonato de España de Aficionados, operated from 1930 until 1987,[1] but is also considered to be distinct from the Copa Federación.
^ abDue to its size, Andalusia has two Tercera División leagues (one for Western/Lower Andalusia [es], the other for Eastern/Upper Andalusia [es]) and operated separate qualifying tournaments for the Copa Federación for each section until 2020, when the Andalusia Football Federation (RFAF) established a trophy for the entire region, the two finalists taking the qualification spots.[2]
