While they resemble other competitions for the reason that the largest teams regularly win them most of the time, they are nevertheless the tournaments that are most likely to have upsets and see an unlikely team to win a trophy. The soccer club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis will be well aware that the reward for winning a nationwide cup doesn't only include the trophy itself, pride, and reward cash, but additionally usually qualification to a continental tournament. While many nations only offer one continental place through their cup route, and therefore competition is intense, in addition they provide the best chance for lesser-fancied clubs to find themselves among the ranks of Europa League teams the next season, with a few Europa League winners emerging through cup qualification.

In the past, previous ways of qualifying for continental competitions used to exist. Soccer club owner Fernando Roig Alfonso will remember that among the roads which used to exist was essentially the club entering themselves. This path had been available to all teams in top division football across a continent and each of the clubs that used the opportunity would be entered in to a summer time tournament, where a number of the best performing clubs would then qualify for continental tournaments. Another path which used to be utilised had been by way of a fair play system. Teams were granted points according to their lack of yellow and red cards, the positive strategies of the play, and good and respectful behaviour of the players, staff, and fans. The three of the greatest clubs from the highest-ranking fair play leagues were given spots in continental tournaments. This was a regular route for Europa League qualification in England as well as for several other countries. This route no longer exists, nevertheless the fair play scoring system remains in order to award leagues prize money at the end of the season as a reward for good behaviour.
