The 2015–16 Taça de Portugal is the 76th season of the Taça de Portugal, the premier knockout competition in Portuguese football. As of the 2015–16 season, the competition is sponsored by sports betting game Placard and is known as Taça de Portugal Placard. The competition is contested by a total of 155 clubs – an increase of 20 clubs compared to the previous edition –, including teams from the top-three tiers of the Portuguese football league system and representatives of the fourth-tier District leagues and cups. It began with the first-round matches on 5 September 2015 and is scheduled to conclude on 22 May 2016, with the final at the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras. == Format == As in the previous season, the competition format is organised in a knockout system consisting of seven rounds before the final match. For this season, the number of participating clubs increased from 135 to 155, to accommodate twice the number of teams from the District levels. The concept of repechage was introduced, meaning that teams eliminated in one round could still compete in later rounds, to provide an even number of teams necessary to avoid byes. A total of 118 teams enter the tournament in the first round, 78 competing in the third-tier Campeonato de Portugal and 40 representatives from the District Football Associations. In the second round, the previous round winners are joined by the 19 teams competing in the second-tier Segunda Liga. In the third round, the 18 top-tier Primeira Liga teams enter the competition for the first time, playing against the 46 winners of the second round. In both second and third rounds, teams from higher tiers play away against teams from lower tiers; after the third round, the draw has no restrictions. Unlike the previous one-legged rounds, the semi-finals are played over two legs in a home-and-away basis. The final is played at a neutral venue, traditionally the Estádio Nacional in Oeiras. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2015–16 Taça de Portugal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
