What is the FA Cup?
The FA Cup is an annual knockout football competition in England, run by the Football Association. First held in 1871 and 1872, it is the oldest national football competition in the world.
The competition is open to hundreds of clubs, from Premier League teams to small amateur sides, making it famous for giant-killing upsets.
Smaller clubs enter in the early qualifying rounds, while Premier League and Championship clubs join in the third round in January.
The final at Wembley
The FA Cup final is usually held at Wembley Stadium in May. The trophy is presented to the winning captain in the royal box.
The first final was won by Wanderers in 1872. Arsenal have won the FA Cup more times than any other club.
Famous upsets include Wimbledon's victory over Liverpool in the 1988 final and non-league clubs beating professional teams in early rounds.
The romance of the cup refers to the chance for small clubs to compete against giants.
The competition is broadcast on television in many countries, and the third-round draw is a big event.
