Hi I’m an American and recently the NBA added a in-season tournament fairly similar to the EFL cup and FA trophy. So I’m short I was wondering how important these trophy’s are to football fans? Like is winning the FA cup similar to winning the league? Nobody is very excited about the in-season tourney so I was just wondering if everyone share this sentiment.
The FA Cup is an open tournament that includes every division in the country, from the Premier League down the semi-pros. It gives smaller teams the opportunity to make pretty staggering amounts of money and can give them an opportunity to grow.
The NBA in-season tournament only has NBA teams, it would be closer to the League Cup which is Premier League teams only and without promotion/relegation it’s pretty much just an exhibition tournament
