Copa Federación Centro
Spanish football tournament / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Copa Federación Centro (English: Center Federation Cup), or the Castilian Federation Cup, was a football competition contested by the best clubs from Central Spain (which encompassed Madrid and the wider Castile region). It was the second-tier competition for the said region after the Campeonato Regional Centro. The competition was formed and reformed numerous times in its 20-year-history between 1923 and 1943, going from a knock-out format to a league mode of all against all. Throughout the editions, the Castilian Cup took different names. Its first version was known as the Copa Madrid (1923–1928), then it developed into the Copa Castilla (1933–1934), and Copa Presidente de la Federación Castellana (1940–1944). Its first edition was organized in 1923 by the Castilian Federation [es] and the last was in 1953 under the same name.[1] The Castilian Federation Cup had five known editions, although it is probable that there are others, such as Copa Primavera (1941–1943) and Copa José Luis del Valle (1943–1945).
