List of EFL Trophy winners
The EFL Trophy is a knockout cup competition in English football organised by and named after the English Football League. The competition was first played in 1983–84. It is open to the 48 members of the Football League bottom two divisions, League One and League Two. Until 2015–16, the competition was split into North and South sections, with the winners of each section meeting in the finals (in recent years, only the earlier rounds have been split into sections). On several occasions, leading teams from the next division down in the English football league system, the National League, have been admitted into the competition but have never won the title. For the 2016–17 season, 16 category 1 Premier League and Championship academy/under-21 sides were allowed to participate. The final was held at the home stadium of Hull City in 1984, before it switched to Wembley Stadium in 1985. It was played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff from 2001 while Wembley was rebuilt, before returning to the new Wembley in 2008.
