The 2015 FFA Cup was the second season of the FFA Cup, the main national soccer knockout cup competition in Australia. 32 teams began competition in the competition proper (from the Round of 32),[1] including all 10 A-League teams, the reigning National Premier Leagues Champion (North Eastern MetroStars from South Australia), and 21 Football Federation Australia (FFA) member federation teams determined through individual state-based preliminary rounds.[1] 2015 marks the first season in which teams from all nine FFA member federations participate, with the Northern Territory participating for the first time.[2]


Football Federation Australia announced in February 2015 that most of the games from the Round of 32 onwards would be played on a Tuesday or Wednesday, with the final held on Saturday 7 November.[3]


The winner of the FFA Cup, Melbourne Victory, received $50,000 as part of a total prize money pool of $131,000.[4] The defending champions, Adelaide United, were knocked out in the Quarter-Final stage of the competition.[5]

In addition, a further $2,500 was donated from sponsor NAB to Member Federation clubs for each goal scored by them against an A-League opposition.[6] Three clubs received donations – Rockdale City Suns ($5,000), Darwin Olympic ($2,500) and Edgeworth FC ($2,500).



Preliminary rounds[edit]



FFA member federations teams competed in various state-based preliminary rounds to win one of 21 places in the competition proper (Round of 32). All Australian clubs were eligible to enter the qualifying process through their respective FFA member federation; however, only one team per club was permitted entry in the competition. All nine FFA member federations took part in the tournament, with the Northern Territory participating for the first time.[7] Player registration numbers in each jurisdiction were used to determine the number of qualifying teams for each member federation:



  • NSW had five teams qualify.

  • Queensland have four teams qualify.

  • Victoria have four teams qualify.

  • Northern NSW have two teams qualify.

  • Western Australia have two teams qualify.

  • ACT have one team qualify.

  • Northern Territory have one team qualify.

  • South Australia have one team qualify.

  • Tasmania have one team qualify.


Unlike the previous season, this competition's preliminary rounds operated within a consistent national structure whereby club entry into the competition were staggered in each state or territory, ultimately leading to a seventh and final round, with the winning clubs from that round gaining direct entry into the round of 32. The first matches of the preliminary rounds began on 14 February 2015, and the final matches of the preliminary rounds took place on 28 June 2015.



Teams[edit]


A total of 32 teams participated in the 2015 FFA Cup competition proper, ten of which came from the A-League, one the 2014 National Premier Leagues Champion (North Eastern MetroStars from South Australia),[1] and the remaining 21 teams from FFA member federations, as determined by the preliminary rounds.[8] A-League clubs represent the highest level in the Australian league system, whereas member federation clubs come from Level 2 and below. The current season tier of member federation clubs is shown in parentheses.
