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

Contents

The inaugural edition was the 2021–22 Copa Conecta, with Aguacateros de Peribán finishing as the first champions in history. In all, four editions of the competition have been held.

Aguacateros de Peribán, Inter Playa del Carmen, Racing Porto Palmeiras and Santiago are the most successful clubs with one title each. In all, only those four clubs have won the competition.

History

The tournament was created in 2021 by the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol, with the aim of providing a greater opportunity for the development of football players from Liga Premier and Liga TDP.

The tournament is played by 32 clubs: 12 from Liga Premier (third level) and 20 from Liga TDP (fourth level). [1] The Liga Premier representatives are those that occupied the first 12 positions in the Apertura Tournament of the Serie B. [2] The Liga TDP representatives are the 17 group leaders from the first half of the season and the three clubs with the best coefficient. [3]

Competition format

The tournament consists of five stages [4] (Round of 16, Round of 8, Quarter-finals, Semifinals and Final).

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 club. If there is a tie at the end of regular time, a round of penalty kicks will be played to determine the winners. [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]
