| | Welsh Premier League :: Wales |
 | | The league suffers from the fact that six of the largest football clubs in Wales — Cardiff City, Swansea City, Wrexham, Newport County, Methyr Tydfil and Colwyn Bay — all play in the English football league system. |
 | | This scenario is virtually unprecedented in Europe, but in spite of this clear disadvantage, the Welsh Premier League continues to survive, despite average crowds being comparatively low at around the 300 mark. |
 | | The League normally provides three teams for European club competitions (though they invariably do not progress far) -- the League Champions are entered in the UEFA Champions League, the runners-up in the UEFA Cup, and the third place team in the Intertoto Cup. |
