Patriotes Cup

The Coupe des Patriotes, also known unofficially as the Patriotes Cup in English, is a knockout tournament competition for football clubs registered as members of Football Kelssek. The trophy and the competition is named in honour of the Patriotes, one of the major republican-socialist parties in Kelssek's 1837 revolution. The most successful team in the competition are two-time winners Clayquot City, who are also the only team to have successfully defended the title, and CF Outineau.

Entry is open to any football club in Kelssek which is in good standing with the Football Kelssek, the sport's national association. Non-professional clubs play in the qualifying rounds before Kelssek Football League National and Conference clubs (levels 2-3 of the league system) enter the competition in the "First Round", and the KFL Championship (top division) clubs enter the Third Round. Each round's fixtures are decided by an unseeded draw (in other words, no brackets), which also determines which team will play the tie at home. Extra time and the penalty shootout are used to decide the winner if the score is tied after 90 minutes. The final venue is rotated throughout the country and announced two years in advance.

Burnaby SC were the first team to complete a league and cup double by winning the 14th final against their city rivals Coquitlam United. They were only the third team to have had the opportunity to do so: in CdP 6 Langlois Océanic were upset by Kawarthas District, while in the CdP 9 final CF Outineau were denied by CF Saint-Richard.
