In the 2023-24 Nathaniel MG Cup, four teams from different leagues will compete for the title. Cardiff City and Swansea City, both Championship clubs, will be joining forces with two wildcard entries: Newport County and Merthyr Town. The competition will feature a total of 48 teams, including 44 Cymru League clubs.
Newport County had a wildcard entry in the previous season and will be returning to the tournament this year. Merthyr Town, a club from the Southern League Premier South, is also making its debut in the cup. Swansea City’s under-21 team made it all the way to the final last season but fell short of victory against The New Saints.
The tournament will be regionally divided until the semi-finals. To ensure regional balance, Newport County has been placed in the northern section. The inclusion of these teams from various leagues adds an exciting dynamic to the competition for next season.
Overall, the Nathaniel MG Cup promises to be an exciting showcase of talent from across Wales as these four teams compete for glory in this prestigious cup competition.
