The English Football Association has rejected the English Football League's Welsh clubs' plans to join a new Welsh League Cup, which would have allowed teams like Wrexham, Swansea City, Cardiff City, and Newport County to compete for a UEFA Conference League spot. While the Football Association of Wales proposed the tournament to enhance financial support and competition, concerns over competition integrity and player welfare from the FA led to the rejection of the plan, which sought to bring significant resources to clubs in the league.
The FA expressed concerns about the integrity of competition and player welfare, ultimately blocking Welsh clubs from joining the revamped League Cup.
The FAW aimed for the revamped competition to secure a £3 million boost and a UEFA qualification spot for the winner but faced opposition from the FA.
