The Excellence Cup is a newly created competition by the National Professional Football League (LNFP). It is open to all the clubs from the two first divisions of the 2024–25 season. Its objectives are the integration and development of young players, the gradual recovery after the breaks and the maintenance of competition during the league's interruptions.[15]
The clubs are required to register at least 10 U23 players on the match sheet and play at least 6 U23 players throughout the match.[16] The competition begins with a group stage consisting of eight groups of four teams. The first two teams qualify for the elimination phase which is played in a two-legged format and begins with the round of 16.[17]
