The 2015 Costa Rican Cup (known as Torneo de Copa Banco Popular for sponsorship reasons) is the 3rd staging of the Costa Rican Cup. The competition began on July 4 and finished on November 19 with the final at the Estadio Nacional. The cup featured 20 teams, composed of all 12 teams of the FPD and 8 from the Liga de Ascenso. Originally, teams from the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Aficionado were expected to participate as well, but were withdrawn due to lack of budget. [1]

Contents

The format of the tournament marked several differences to that of its predecessor, such as the lack of a group stage (similar to the 2013 edition), and the addition of a "best loser" rule, in which a team could still qualify to a further round, despite having lost a match. [2]

The tournament saw the defending champions Cartaginés earning a second title by defeating Herediano in the final.

Qualified teams

The following teams were announced to participate in the 2015 Costa Rican Cup:

12 teams from the 2015–16 FPD:

8 teams from the 2014–15 Liga de Ascenso:
