Tennents Tartan Army Cup

The Tennents TA CUP (11-a-side) is played as per a normal cup knockout competition.

History

The first official Tartan Army tournament took place in June 1999 at the Jeanfield Swifts Football Club in Perth with four teams competing in an 11-a-side tournament for the STC Cup, kindly donated by the SFA.

The Tournament continued as an 11-a-side format for one more year before being changed to a 7-a-side format in 2001, due to the number of teams wishing to compete,

To fill the void left by the change in format, Tennents donated the “Tennents Tartan Army Trophy” in 2000, and this has taken the place of the STC Cup as the 11-a-side tournament
