The competition was discontinued as it showed to be lacking the true strive for victory from the clubs that participated. It was lacking popularization and was also considered to be more costly as almost no spectators were attending the games of that competition.
In 2009, in order to increase the number of matches for the Second Division clubs (26 clubs were divided into two groups) the tournament was reactivated. Also invited to the tournament, some amateur clubs. The tournament was renamed into the League Cup. In 2010 the tournament again abandoned.
