So, what is the Carabao Cup? Let's look at the full information below.
Carabao cup is a football tournament that is attended by all English Footbal League (EFL) and Premier League clubs.
The official name of this tournament is the English League Cup. However, for the sake of sponsorship, this competition often changes names such as the Milk Cup, The Littlewood Cup, The Rumbelows Cup, The Coca-Cola Cup, The Worthington Cup, and The Carling Cup.
The Carabao Cup has become the name used since the 2017-2018 season until now. The name change occurred after the English League Cup was sponsored by an energy beverage company from Thailand named Carabao.
The English League Cup was first held in the 1960/1961 season. This tournament was attended by 92 clubs from the top four strata in the English football pyramid. A total of 20 clubs are from the Premier League, and 72 clubs are from the English Football League.
The player system used in the English League Cup is a knockout system, except for the semifinals played in stages and away (home-away).
The Carabao Cup competition ended faster than the other two main competitions in England, namely the premiere of the league and the FA Cup. The English League Cup was completed in February, while the other two competitions ended in May.
The English League Cup or Carabao Cup took advantage of using stadium lights. This means that matches can be staged at night in the middle of the week. The final party was held at Wembley Stadium because it became a neutral place for both teams to compete.
The Carabao Cup winner has the right to qualify for one of the UEFA club competitions: accepting a place in the UEFA European Conference League. Meanwhile, if the winner qualifys for the UEFA club competition on another track at the end of the season, the facility is awarded to one of the teams in the Premiere League who sit at the top of the final standings who do not qualify for the UEFA club competition.
