| Hi all, wonder if someone can help.
Am I right in thinking the Austrian Cup this year does not include teams from the firt two levels of Austrian football. I found this on the German language Wikipedia, but my German isn't as good as it should be.
"Der ÖFB-Cup wird in der Saison 2007/08 zum 74. Mal ausgespielt. Auf Grund der anstehenden Europameisterschaft 2008 in Österreich und der Schweiz verzichteten alle 22 Mannschaften der Bundesliga und der Ersten Liga auf Empfehlung des ÖFB auf ihre Teilnahme. Diese Auflage des Bewerbs wird daher auch als ÖFB-Amateurcup tituliert, wobei es sich gerade bei den führenden Teams meist nicht um Amateure handelt. Durch den damit verbundenen Wegfall gesetzter Vereine erhöht sich die Teilnehmerzahl von 52 auf 64".
If my understanding is right, does anyone know whether the eventual winners will still qualify for the UEFA Cup?

| The teams in the professional divisions won't participate in order to get finished with the league earlier and give the nt more time to prepare for the EURO 2008.
And no, the winner won't qualify for the UEFA Cup this year (I think that place goes to the league, but I'm not sure) |

| Actually most of the Austrian national players are playing for Austrian clubs. Some play in Germany and some in Italy or Greece but the majority in Austria.

| The Austrian Cup was cancelled to protect the pitches were the EURO 2008 will be played, not to give more rest to the Austrian players.
At least this is the official reason. |
