FBUs Pokalturnering

[4] Despite a modest start for the tournament, several cup matches evolved into major events, receiving much media coverage at both regional and national level, becoming topics of prolonged conversation in the local community and marking cities and villages for a few days.

[9] The tournament was installed with rules applied for a knockout competition with the composition of the each match being determined by drawing lots.

[11] On 4 October 1919, the Danish government placed an amusement tax of 40% on certain sport events, which affected the conduct of and attendance figures at association football matches with admissions, causing either entrance fees to be abolished, making competitive and exhibition matches completely free or having clubs limit their games to active and passive members-only to avoid the taxation.

[13][12] If a club decided to take admission to a cup match, the Funen FA had determined the entrance fee should be minimum DKK 1 (as per 1920) and half the price for children.

[7] At a meeting on 15 June 1945, the Funen FA cancelled the 1945 edition due to the difficult travel conditions in place at the end of Denmark's occupation in World War II, and instead focusing their efforts on rebooting the regional league tournaments.

The most successful club in the history of the tournament's 33 editions was B 1909, who won a total of fourteen cup titles and appeared as a losing finalist on nine occasions.
