Cup victors usually measure up for Europe but under current regulations Cardiff cannot as they are classed as a Welshman club.

However, Uefa are considering handing them a wildcard entry should they beat out Portsmouth in the concluding on 17 May.

Evans states this volition harm FAW bes after to assist Welshman baseball clubs measure up for Europe through Welshman conferences and competitions.

"I believe it's a short-term gain for a long-term loss," explained Evans, who outlined programs for the hereafter development of Welshman football game in a strategical written document he presented to the Welshman fa earlier this year.

"I believe now is the clip for us to concentrate on getting the Welshman baseball clubs playing in Europe on a regular footing and that tin only be done by credence that playing in Welshman competitions is acceptable to Uefa.

"If Cardiff were to stand for England, as they effectively would to all intents and purposes, and certainly in the position of the other European nations, then I believe we would have got job persuading Uefa to revisit the jobs of Welshman football.

"I'm not wishing to deny Cardiff City, in fact I would be quite happy to see them play in Europe. I'm just saying these are the disadvantages of taking this speedy fix."

In his written document entitled 'FAW Strategic Plan 2007-2012', Herbert Mclean Evans called for Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham to be permitted to field squads in the Welshman Prime Minister League.

He suggested the three exiled baseball clubs be allowed to go on to play in the English Football League but field 2nd squads in the Welshman Premier.

But Herbert Mclean Evans states if Cardiff are allowed to play in Europe by qualifying by winning an English competition, like the fa Cup, it will set paid to these programs and effectively impede the long-term development of Welshman football.

Uefa regulations stopped Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham, plus Colwyn Bay, Merthyr and Newport, from using Welshman competitions to attain Europe when they continued in the English League rather than fall in the League of Cymru when it was established.

Under normal fortune the fa Cup victors measure up for the Uefa Cup, but Cardiff's job is that as a Welshman baseball club - although playing in the English conference pyramid - they are not affiliated to the English FA.

The Football Association states it will not put up Cardiff as the Welshman baseball club as a 'guest' team.

However, Uefa president Michel Platini have already expressed his support for Cardiff if they win the Cup, with Uefa spokesman William Gaillard reiterating that support on Monday.
