Wrexham see European hopes squashed as Welsh clubs barred from new competition

  • Wrexham's hopes of competing in Europe have been dashed after the Football Association blocked attempts to allow Welsh clubs playing in the English leagues to participate in the Welsh League Cup.
  • The Football Association of Wales wanted the EFL's Welsh clubs, including Wrexham, to participate in the new-look Welsh League Cup, which offers a UEFA qualification spot.
  • The FA Board rejected the proposal due to concerns about competition integrity, fixture congestion, and player welfare, stating that clubs must participate on equal terms.
  • The FA noted that Welsh clubs can choose to participate in either the English or Welsh system based on their assessment of each system's merits.
