The 1981–82 Swiss League Cup was the tenth edition of the Swiss League Cup competition since its introduction in 1972. The first round was played in summer 1981 as a pre-season warm-up to the 1981–82 Swiss football season, round two in September and the later rounds were played after the winter-break. This was to be the last edition of this competition, as it was discontinued in the next season.
Overview
The League Cup had been created nine years earlier to allow clubs from the top two tiers to compete in a tournament in advance of the league season, with the semi-finals and final played in the Autumn. However, this planning had been given up and modified. This season the modification from last season were continued, the first round was played in advance of the season, the second round was played in September and the later rounds were played in the spring.
The matches were played in a single knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a penalty shoot-out was to decide which team qualified for the next round. No replays were foreseen. The final was to be played as a two legged affair with both finalists playing a home and an away game.
