Telekom Cup 2015

The Telekom Cup (formerly known as T-Home Cup and LIGA total! Cup) is a German association football competition held since 2009. The competition features four teams of the Bundesliga, playing two semi-finals and a final. Up until 2015, a match lasted 60 minutes, with each half 30 minutes long. The tournament would be over two days, with two games in each day. In 2015 the rules changed, where there would only be one 45 minute period, and all four matches take place in the same day. The event took place in Gelsenkirchen in 2009[1] and 2010,[2] Mainz in 2011, Hamburg in 2012, Mönchengladbach in 2013, again in Hamburg for the 2014 edition, and again in Mönchengladbach in 2015.[3] FC Bayern Munich and Hamburger SV hold the most titles, with two each. Both have also participated in all seven years.
