Encyclopedia
The 2011–12 United Football Cup is the third edition of the Philipine football United Football Cup
that will run from mid-October to mid-December 2011. This edition consists of 28 teams which are separated into seven groups with the top two teams of the group advancing to the round of 16. The two best third placed teams will claim the remaining two slots in the round of 16.
Last year the clubs were initially separated into four equal groups, with a single round-robin played in each to divide the groups into top-two and bottom-two clusters. The top two of every group qualified for the knock-out stage while the bottom-two clubs of each set however, battled for the Plate. The eight teams who made it to the knock-out stages were given the right of playing in the league first division while teams who played for the Plate proceeded to the league second division.
