FA Cup

The FA Cup is the oldest ongoing competition in all of football, being founded in 1871. It is open to all clubs in England regardless of professional status. It is home to some of the biggest cup upsets in the world, with games such as Hereford United - Newcastle United in 1972 or Wimbledon - Liverpool in 1988.

The FA Cup Final is one of the most watched games in England each season, owing to the fact that it was one of the few live games shown each season on television, along with England internationals. The winner of the competition qualifies for the Cup Winners' Cup, or the runner-up in case the winner also qualifies for the European Cup.
