Why is it called Carabao Cup?
The knockout tournament has long been known as the League Cup or EFL Cup since it is organised by the English Football League, which is comprised of the second-tier Championship, third-tier League One, and fourth-division League Two.
Beginning in the 1990s, sponsors began attaching their name to this tournament and the sponsor names caught on: Coca-Cola Cup, Worthington’s Cup, and the Carling Cup.
The latest sponsor is Thai energy drink company Carabao, which bought the title rights of the knockout tournament beginning with the 2017/18 edition, leading to the use of the Carabao Cup moniker.
