League Cup could change format, all teams may return to the competition | OneFootball

At the Presidents' Summit, a new change in the structure of the League Cup was discussed. A proposal was presented to reintegrate all professional football clubs, while still maintaining the Final Four.

The plan envisions 28 teams distributed into two groups of 14. The top eight from each series would qualify for a second phase with two groups of eight, from which four clubs would emerge. Subsequently, three of these clubs would qualify for the quarter-finals, where they would join the five teams already qualified for European competitions.

Despite this, FC Porto maintains a preference for an Iberian Cup. Benfica acknowledged the risk of an overloaded schedule but did not close the door on the proposal. The topic will be debated in the coming weeks.
