Nike returns for 2020 as the official naming rights partner of Football Victoria’s Women’s State Knockout Cup - now known as the Nike F.C. Cup.
The Nike F.C. Cup will officially kick off on the weekend of 20-22 March, with a live-stream draw scheduled tomorrow, Wednesday, March 11, at 1pm, for the opening fixtures of the initial 35 teams.
The competition’s popularity continues to rise, with a record number of female teams registering for this year's event.
The first round of the Nike F.C. Cup will commence on Friday, March 20 and will conclude with a finals series in August.
The Women’s State Knockout Cup has a proud history and was started to give female teams from all across Victoria the opportunity to compete against each other in a knockout format. National Premier League club Calder United SC is the current title holder after winning a hat-trick of cups in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Will 2020 be the year someone stops Calder from winning its forth in a row?
As in 2019, this partnership will present many opportunities for the female athletes participating in the tournament and we look forward to revealing these throughout the year.
