    An undesirable record is held by Jashtyk Ak Altyn Kara-Su, who lost six
    consecutive finals in Kyrgyzstan from 2001 to 2006, the first five all 
    by 0-1 (the sixth by 0-4); the first three against SKA-PVO Bishkek and 
    the last three against Dordoy-Dinamo Naryn.  Prior to their 'feat', this
    sad record was shared by USM Alger, who appeared in five consecutive 
    Algerian cup finals from 1969 to 1973 and lost all of them, and Al-Ramtha, 
    who did the same in Jordan from 1993 to 1997.

    Most Final Replays

    The 1940 Romanian final went to three replays:
       
        Rapid Bucuresti 2-2, 4-4, 2-2, 2-1 Venus Bucuresti
    
    The first match was played on April 30, 1940, the last on November 8 - requiring
    more than half a year to determine the winners.  Iuliu Baratky of Rapid scored 
    in all four matches (twice in the third).
    
    If the above is a record for Europe, the third edition of the Singapore Amateur 
    Football Association Challenge Cup, played in 1894, saw double the number of 
    replays: six, and even after the last match the winners had not been determined.  
    Even more intriguingly, there was only one 'club' in the final, a military unit:
    the 10th Lincolnshire Regiment, which had entered two teams in the tournament, 
    in which five teams played:
    
    Final [Sep 7]
    10th Lincolnshire Regiment I   0-0 10th Lincolnshire Regiment II
    
    Final Replay [Sep 10]
    10th Lincolnshire Regiment I   0-0 10th Lincolnshire Regiment II  [aet (2x5 mins)]
    
    Final Second Replay [Sep 14]
    10th Lincolnshire Regiment I   2-2 10th Lincolnshire Regiment II  [aet (2x5 mins)]
    
    Final Third Replay [Sep 21]
    10th Lincolnshire Regiment I   1-1 10th Lincolnshire Regiment II  [aet (2x5 mins)]
    
    Final Fourth Replay [Oct 11]
    10th Lincolnshire Regiment I   0-0 10th Lincolnshire Regiment II
    
    Final Fifth Replay [Oct 29]
    10th Lincolnshire Regiment I   1-1 10th Lincolnshire Regiment II
    
    Final Sixth Replay [Nov ?]
    10th Lincolnshire Regiment I   drw 10th Lincolnshire Regiment II
    
    NB: date and score of the last match unknown; all finals played over 2x30 minutes,
        with most but possibly not all replays going to extra time.  In order to settle 
        the issue, on November 28, 1894, the 22 names of the players from both teams
        were put into a hat, from which 11 names were drawn to receive the available
        medals; among the 11 winners, 3 were from the first team and 8 from the second.
    

    Miscellaneous

    Roma beat all Italian European Cup winners of 1989/90 during their
    1990/91 campaign to win the Coppa Italia:
    
    QF: Roma            1-1 2-0 Juventus (UEFA Cup)
    SF: Milan (CC)      0-0 0-1 Roma
     F: Roma            3-1 1-1 Sampdoria (CWC)
    
    [Milan also won the Intercontinental Cup and the Super Cup in both 1989/90 and
     1990/91, so Roma eliminated all European holders of international cups.]
    
    Amateur club Eintracht Trier beat both German winners of European
    silverware in 1996/97 during their campaign in the 1997/98 DFB-Pokal:
    
     1: Eintracht Trier 1-0 Schalke 04 (UEFA Cup)
     2: Eintracht Trier 2-1 Borussia Dortmund (CC)
    
    FC Sion won their first thirteen Swiss Cup Finals:
    in 1965, 1974, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2015;
    they lost their fourteenth final in 2017 (against FC Basel).
    
    Leeds United and Cardiff City met in the third round of the FA Cup in three
    consecutive seasons: 1955/56, 1956/57, and 1957/58.  Not only did Cardiff on
    each of these occasions eliminate Leeds in Leeds - they also did it by the
    identical 2-1 scoreline on all three occasions!
    

    Notes

    
    [1] This includes both the "Campeonato de Portugal" from 1921/22 to 1937/38 
        and its successor tournament "Taça de Portugal" which was held since
        1938/39 season. 
    
    [2] This includes the English Cup won by Cardiff City in 1926/27 as well as
        22 Welsh cups.
    
    [3] The totals for Levski and CSKA contain the Soviet Army cups won up
        to and including 1982; Levski won 13 of those (and 3 after 1981), CSKA
        9 (and 4 after 1981).  Of the 16 finals between the two teams, 7 were
        for the Soviet Army Cup (up to 1982), Levski winning 4, CSKA 3; the 1982
        final for the Cup of Bulgaria (won by Levski) is not included as the
        tournament was still secondary to the Soviet Army Cup that year.
        The 1985 final between the two teams (CSKA winning 2-1) was first
        declared void but later returned to CSKA.  Levski's total includes the 
        1942 Tzar's Cup but not the 1982 Cup of Bulgaria (secondary to the 
        Soviet Army Cup); CSKA's total does not included the 4-team Cup of 
        Bulgaria 1981 (secondary to the Soviet Army Cup).
    
    [4] Totals include Stredoceský pohár, Ceský pohár 1939-45, Czechoslovak
        cups 1946-93, Czech cups since 1994.  Sparta has won the Stredoceský
        pohár 9 times, Ceský pohár 2 times during the war, 8 Czechoslovak
        cups and 8 Czech cups.  Slavia won the Stredoceský pohár 8 times, Ceský
        pohár 2 times during the war, 7 Czech cups.  Of the 11 finals between the 
        two, 7 were for the Stredoceský pohár, 3 for the Ceský pohár.
        The two teams were also to meet in the 1937 final for the Stredoceský
        pohár, which was never played (but included as one of the ten
        finals to be played between the two).  Finally, Sparta and Slavia also met 
        each other 3 times in the Czech cup final when it served as a semifinal for 
        the Czechoslovak cup; of those, Sparta won 2, Slavia 1.
    
    [5] The 1988 final was stopped at 1-1 just before the end, after Steaua
        had left the field as protest to having a goal disallowed.  The match
        was later awarded 2-1 to Steaua, but after the revolution of 1989 
        Steaua gave the cup to Dinamo.  However, according to the official 
        records of the FRF, the cup is Steaua's, so it is included in their
        total, as is the 2020 edition won as FCSB.
    
    [6] Total for ASC Diaraf includes that of Foyer France.
    
    [7] Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split now are in the Croatian league after Yugoslavia 
        broke up.  Hajduk won 9 Yugoslav and 8 Croatian cups, Dinamo 7 Yugoslav and 17
        Croatian ones (including the one won in 1941 by Gradjanski).
        They played each other 4 times in the Yugoslav cup final (each winning 2) and 
        7 times in the Croatian cup final (4 by Dinamo, 3 won by Hajduk).
    
    [8] The 1962 final between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos was abandoned.
        The 1964 semifinal between the same teams also was abandoned, leaving
        AEK as only finalists and interrupting the run of Olympiakos between
        1956 and 1966 as Cup finalists, as well as their run of seven
        consecutive wins between 1957 and 1965 (the 1964 Cup for AEK is not
        always listed).  (Details on Olympiakos' run.)  
    
    [9] Celtic appeared in 14 consecutive finals of the Scottish League
        Cup between 1965 and 1978.
    
    [10] The 1909 Cup was withheld after riots following the draw between
         Celtic and Rangers in the replay. 
         Celtic and Rangers met each other another 12 times in the 
         final of the Scottish League Cup, Rangers winning 8, Celtic 4.
    
    [11] Amateure are now known as Austria Wien.  Rapid's total includes

    [16] Shelbourne won 3 Irish Cups before the split between Northern Ireland
         and the Republic, and 7 Cups in Ireland.
    
    [17] This includes the Kings Cup competition from 1956/57 until 1989/90
         and the Crown Prince Cup from 1990/91 to 2012/13 and the Custodian of

         3 Crown Prince Cups and 1 Two Holy Mosques Cup in the relevant periods,
         Al-Hilal 6 Kings Cup, 11 Crown Prince Cups and 4 Two Holy Mosques Cups, 
         and Al-Ittihad  6 Kings Cups, 4 Crown Prince Cups and 1 Two Holy  Mosques
         Cups; in addition Al-Ittihad won 4 Crown Prince Cups prior to 1990 or
         since 2013 (when it was a secondary cup tournament), Al-Ahli 3 and
         Al-Hilal 2.
    
    [18] South African records include the NPSL 1971-1984 and the NSL/PSL 
         since the 1985 season.
    
    [19] Dinamo Tbilisi won 2 Soviet Cups and 13 Georgian Cups.

         awarded.
    
    [23] Slovan won 5 cups in Czechoslovakia and 10 in Slovakia.

         arrondissement (5) into which Conakry I was split in 1968/69.
    
    [25] Includes 5 cups won as Army and 5 won as Mechal.
    
    [26] Al-Foutoua not only won four consecutive finals between 1988 and 1991
         but had also lost four consecutive finals between 1979 and 1983!
    
    [27] Refers to the FA Cup and not the Senior Shield, which South China
         won 31 times (9 before World War II and 22 since).
    
    [28] While the company owning Rangers FC was liquidated in 2012, it had
         previously sold the club to another company, thus enabling the club,
         which had to restart at the fourth domestic league level, to retain
         its old records.
