Quarter-finals
In this round the winners and runners-up of all of the previous round's groups were entered. The draw was conducted by the TFF in the Ataköy Olympic House in Istanbul on 28 January 2011 at 11:00 local time. There were no seedings in the draw, and consequently teams from the same groups were drawn against each other. The teams competed in two-leg playoffs. The first leg matches were played on 2 and 3 February while the second leg matches were played on 2 and 3 March 2011.[8] The lowest-ranked, and incidentally the only non-Süper Lig team to qualify for this stage of the competition was Gaziantep Büyükşehir Belediyespor, at that time competing in the TFF First League, the 2nd tier of Turkish football.
