EFL’s Welsh clubs could qualify for Europe via new routeChange would mean no qualification via English cups
The Football Association is set to block a proposal to allow the English Football League’s Welsh clubs from competing in a new Welsh League Cup next season in what would represent a major blow to Wrexham’s European ambitions.
The EFL is understood to have raised objections to a request from the the FA of Wales for Wrexham, Cardiff, Swansea and Newport to take part in an expanded League Cup, which they hope will generate £3m a year in additional revenue. Getting bigger Welsh clubs into European competition could also improve Wales’ Uefa coefficient.
