Copa Conecta is an association football competition in Mexico and the domestic cup tournament for clubs at the third and fourth levels of the Mexican football league system.

Contents

The cup is played by 32 clubs: 12 from the Liga Premier (third level) and 20 from the Liga TDP (fourth level). [1]

The cup was created in 2021 with the aim of providing a greater opportunity for the development of football players from Liga Premier and Liga TDP clubs.

Competition format

32 clubs play in the cup: 12 from the Liga Premier and 20 from the Liga TDP. The twelve Liga Premier representatives are those that occupied the first 12 positions in the Apertura Tournament of the Serie B. [2]

The 20 clubs in the Liga TDP are the 17 group leaders from the first half of the season and the three clubs with the best coefficient. [3]

The tournament consists of five stages: [4]

The matches are played in a single round in the field of the club participating in the TDP League, in case the two clubs play in the same league, the match will be played in the field of the best ranked team. If there is a tie at the end of regular time, a round of penalty kicks will be played to determine the winner. [4]

Geographic location is the criteria for matches. The affiliated clubs of Liga MX and Liga de Expansión MX can participate in the cup but only with the players who were registered in the squads for Liga Premier and TDP. [4]
