If this is a generic article of the Portuguese League Cup. I think that the information of the editions should be alocated in a specif article. Portuguese League Cup 2007-08 has a specif page. In Portuguese League Cup should only be for generic information...

UEFA Cup for winner? edit

Where's the source for this statement? It is untrue since this is a competition organized and managed by the league, not the national football federation. Parutakupiu 19:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Portuguese Liga (First Division) is also a competion organized and managed by the league, and 6 teams qualify for the UEFA competitions on a yearly basis. The Portuguese League Cup is managed by the league, but sanctioned by the federation, but I don't know if the winner qualifies for the UEFA Cup, by the way...

True, forgot that "detail" :P But since the Liga and the Portuguese Cup already qualify clubs for European competitions I don't think (nor have I heard) that the League Cup winner would qualify either. I mean, do other national League Cups work that way? I don't believe so. Parutakupiu 17:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, in England and France the League Cup winner qualifies for the UEFA Cup. These are the only cases in Europe, I think. Other league cups like the German one, do not qualify the winner for any European competition. I remember hearing something about UEFA Cup qualification for the Carlsberg Cup in the news, and that the 5th placed team in the championship would lose their place, but I can't confirm. Perhaps in the league's official page ([1]) we can find an answer. Joaopais 18:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Gosh, I'm really uninformed :S Thanks for enlightening me on that. Well, I have the Cup regulations and they don't speak about a UEFA Cup spot for the winner; the League portal has no info about it either. Parutakupiu 19:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
I've read in various news sources that the winner does not qualify to uefa cup, so I will delete the entry.--Flávio 15:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
