2020–21 Egypt Cup qualifying rounds (original) (raw)

The 2020–21 Egypt Cup qualifying rounds open the 89th season of the competition in Egypt, the oldest association football single knockout competition in Africa. A large number of clubs did not enter the competition due to various reasons, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Egypt, alongside other reasons such as financial status. Only 156 clubs registered to participate in this season's qualifying rounds, 74 less than the previous season. This led the Egyptian Football Association to reduce the number of the qualifying rounds to four rounds only instead of five, with participating teams from the 2020–21 Egyptian Second Division entering at the second preliminary round instead of the third.
