2012–13 UAE President's Cup


The 2012–13 UAE President's Cup is the 37th season of the UAE President's Cup, the premier knockout tournament for association football clubs in the United Arab Emirates. The reigning champions are Al Jazira, having won their second title last season. The winners will qualify for the group stage of the 2014 AFC Champions League.
After a change to the format last season garnered criticism for not including as many lower-league teams, the format has now returned to a previous format. 14 teams from UAE Division 1 Group A and Group B took place in a group stage with 2 groups of four and 2 groups of three, with the group winners advancing to a play-off stage. The two winners of the play-off matches will join the 14 Pro-League teams in the round of 16.
