Unlike the English League Cup, the Northern Ireland Football League Cup winners are not awarded a European berth. Eight people are dead and dozens more are injured after a bus carrying farm workers overturned. In 1999 Youth Futsal coaching started in Perth under the auspices of the now-defunct Scottish Futsal Federation and was headed by Steve Chatila, one of the 3 people running SFF. In the event that a team qualifies without such a licence, lower-placed teams may take their place. If, however, the Irish Cup winners finish outside the top seven in the Premiership or play in a lower division, and if they also possess a UEFA licence, football tops all five teams finishing 3rd-7th qualify for the play-offs.
