FA Cup Final For more on the FA Cup and trivia about the finals and champions, see the main FA Cup article The
FA Cup Final is the last match in the
Football Association Challenge Cup , the oldest
football tournament in the world. It is the culmination of a knockout competition among clubs belonging to
The Football Association in
England .
Early FA Cup Finals were held at various venues, mainly in
London . In the period from 1923 unitil 2000, the final was held at
Wembley Stadium , English football's national stadium. From 2001-2005, the final was moved to the
Millennium Stadium in
Cardiff , during the rebuilding of Wembley Stadium. The Millennium Stadium was used again in 2006 due to construction delays in opening the new Wembley Stadium.
Until 1993, if the final could not be decided in a single match, the match would be replayed. After only six replays since 1923, the
Football Association then decided that all future finals would be decided 'on the day', putting an end to FA Cup Final replays. This meant that a draw at the end of normal time would be followed by thirty minutes of
extra time (two fifteen minute halves); if scores were still level there would be a
penalty shootout to determine the winner of the competition. Only two FA Cup Finals have been decided by a penalty shootout; those of 2005 and 2006.
Teams
highlighted in bold won both
The Football League (up to
1992 ) or the
FA Premier League (since
1992 )
and the FA Cup in that season; this is known as
The Double in English football. Teams from outside the top
level of English football are in
italics .
