2010–11 Coppa Italia

The Coppa Italia (Italian for Italy Cup, officially known as TIM Cup because of its sponsorship) is an Italian football annual cup competition. Its first edition was held in 1922, but the second champions were not crowned until 1936. Roma and Juventus lead the way with nine wins. Roma has contested more finals: 16 (Torino and Juventus follow with 13). The holder can wear a "tricolore" cockade, like the roundels that appear on military aircraft, and qualifies for a UEFA Europa League spot for the next season.

The tournament is known for its low attendances, mainly because most teams consider the tournament of low importance and do not field their best line-up, especially after the abolition of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. While some top clubs may average over 50,000 for league games, often these same clubs will attract crowds of around 1,000 for Coppa Italia matches. Many domestic cups elsewhere in Europe attract larger crowds. It is often in the final, where the UEFA Europa League spot is up for grabs, that larger crowds attend the games.

Coincidentally, in five of the last six years, the Coppa Italia final has been contested by the same two teams – Inter and Roma. This includes the 2009–10 Coppa Italia final. The match was held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 5 May 2010 and ended with Inter winning 1–0 on a goal by Diego Milito. It was Inter's 6th Coppa Italia title, and first since 2006. In this current final streak between the two teams, Inter now has the edge 3–2. Both missed the final in 2008–09.

Formula and pairing teams

The Old Logo

The format of 2009–10 tournament is the same of the previous year. Seventy-eight clubs are elegible for the competition, all teams belonging to Football League, and the best squads of Pro League and Serie D. The rather unusual two-leg final was eliminated two years ago: a single-match final would be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome^[1].

The format for pairings is as follows:

First phase: one-leg fixtures
- First round: Serie C and Serie D clubs are paired
- Second round: Serie B clubs enter
- Third round: Serie A clubs not competing European cups enter
- Fourth round: the 16 winners of Round 3 are paired
Second phase: one-leg fixtures
- Round of 16: 8 first phase winners are inserted into a bracket with seeds 1–8
- Quarterfinals: pairings based upon bracket
Semifinals: two-leg fixtures
Final: one-leg fixture in Rome

Note: from 1968 to 1971, FIGC introduced a final group instead of semifinals and finals. For statistical equity, only champions and runners-up of those groups are counted as finalists. Moreover, both in 1970 and 1971, decisive matches between the two best clubs were played to assign the cup.
