The Argentine Cup Soccer, or Copa Argentina, is the main national football cup competition in Argentina organized by the Argentine Football Association.

During the knock-out phase, each round consists of two legs, with the team with the most goals at the end of the two legs advancing to the next round. Some of the most popular teams in Argentine Cup Soccer include River Plate, Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo, Independiente, Racing Club, Estudiantes, and Newell’s Old Boys.
