Кубок FA

The FA Cup (Football Association Challenge Cup) is the oldest national football competition in the world, established in 1871. It is a knockout tournament held annually in England, open to clubs from all levels of the English football league system, including professional and amateur teams. The competition consists of multiple rounds, culminating in a final match at Wembley Stadium, usually held in May. The FA Cup is renowned for its tradition and the opportunities it provides for smaller clubs to compete against higher-ranked teams, often leading to memorable upsets, known as “giant killings.” Winning the FA Cup is considered a prestigious achievement in English football, and the victor earns a place in the UEFA Europa League for the following season.
