Emirates FA Cup

The FA Cup, officially known as the Emirates FA Cup for sponsorship reasons, is the oldest football competition in the world. Founded in 1871, the tournament is run by the Football Association (FA) and includes teams from various levels of English football. The FA Cup is renowned for its tradition and the opportunity it provides for lower-league clubs to compete against top-tier teams. The competition follows a knockout format, and the winner not only claims the prestigious trophy but also earns a place in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. The final, held at Wembley Stadium, is a highlight of the English football calendar.
