League Cup

The League Cup, officially known as the EFL Cup (English Football League Cup) in England, is a knockout football competition for professional teams in the English football league system. Established in 1960, it allows teams from the Premier League and the lower divisions to compete for a prestigious trophy. The tournament format consists of several rounds, culminating in a final match to determine the champion. The League Cup is distinct from other domestic competitions, such as the FA Cup, due to its specific eligibility criteria and structure, providing opportunities for clubs of varying levels to achieve success and gain exposure. It is known for its fast-paced games and often serves as a platform for clubs to win silverware and secure qualification for other tournaments.
