  • Wrexham see European hopes squashed as Welsh clubs barred from new competition - The four Welsh clubs in the EFL won't be allowed to compete in the Welsh League Cup and earn a Conference League spot

The article from MSN discusses how Wrexham, a Welsh football club, has had its aspirations to participate in a new European competition dashed. UEFA has decided that Welsh clubs will not be allowed to enter the new competition, which is set to replace the current UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League format starting in the 2024-25 season. This decision stems from the fact that Welsh clubs do not compete in the Welsh Premier League, instead playing in the English football league system. This ruling effectively bars Wrexham, along with other Welsh clubs like Cardiff City and Swansea City, from participating in this new European competition, despite their involvement in English football leagues. The new competition aims to provide more matches and opportunities for clubs, but Welsh teams will miss out on this expanded European stage.
