Is the Carabao Cup a League Cup?

In 20 16, Thailand's energy beverage brand Karabao Vibrant Beverage signed a contract with the English Football League for three years, and became its title sponsor from the 20 17- 18 season. The historic English League Cup was renamed as "Karabao Cup".

Carlin Beer is the sponsor of the League Cup from 2009 to 20 12, so the English League Cup is also called the League Cup. The main sponsor of 20 12 was changed to Capitalone.

Competition level:

The Football League was founded in 1886, and was originally in charge of all 92 professional clubs at all levels in England. However, after 20 teams defected from 1992 to form a parallel Super League, there were only 72 clubs left. Since the level of the club in charge is not the highest, the weight of speech is naturally not as good as before, and if you want the top clubs in the Premier League to participate in the Carling Cup, it is natural to look at other people's faces.

The status of the Carling Cup has been ranked behind the Premier League and the FA Cup. For the top clubs in the Premier League, the Carling Cup is just a game of training substitutes. Of course, for these clubs, ignoring the Carling Cup is also a helpless move, because in addition to participating in the League, FA Cup and Carling Cup, they also have to participate in the lucrative Champions League or Europa League.

If you do well all the way, you can reach nearly 70 games in nine months of a season, nearly two games a week, and the players are not made of steel. Therefore, some Premier League giants will send a large number of bench players and even youth teams to participate.
