Copa Carabao

The Copa Carabao, officially known as the EFL Cup, is a football (soccer) competition in England, open to the 92 clubs in the English football league system, comprising the Premier League and the Football League. It is a knockout tournament, meaning that teams compete in single-elimination matches. The tournament typically begins with a series of round-robin stages leading to eliminations, culminating in a final match to determine the champion. The competition is named after its current sponsor, Carabao, an energy drink brand, and has undergone various sponsorship changes and name variations over the years. It is considered one of the major domestic cups in English football, alongside the FA Cup. The Copa Carabao provides an opportunity for clubs to win silverware and can also offer qualification for European competitions, depending on the outcomes of the matches and the regulations of the seasons.
