From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Created in 1992 as the first regular cup competition to run alongside the K-League, the Adidas Cup became a popular early season tournament with the fans and players alike.
The format for the tournament varied, from a straight league system with the top team picking up the trophy to two groups with semi-finals and even a straight knock-out competition.
The Adidas Cup was dropped from the Korean league season for 2003 as the K-League expanded to 12 clubs and implemented a mammoth 44 game season.
