FA Cup winners could get Champions League spot - but small clubs snubbed in UEFA decision
FA Cup could qualify for the Champions League under the competition's new format– but only if they have a significant history of success in UEFA competitions.According to the Telegraph, controversial sub-section off the regularly derided new format - which is expected to be in place by 2024 - would only apply to European sides who have a historic track record of success in UEFA competitions. The new proposals will see two extra places in the upcoming 36 team format awarded to sides highest on the UEFA co-efficient list, if they have finished one league place outside the top four or won their domestic cup.However, this will not apply to all FA Cup winners as a higher ranking on the co-efficient list would be needed to qualify.
