Saturday 25th May
The FA Cup is one of the world’s most prestigious football tournaments, and the final is always a major event on the sporting calendar. The first FA Cup final was played in 1872, and since then, some of the biggest names in world football have lifted the trophy.
For many fans, the FA Cup final is the highlight of the season. The match takes place at Wembley Stadium in London, and is watched by millions of people around the world. The teams that reach the final are usually the best in England, and the competition is often seen as a chance for a smaller team to upset the odds and claim a famous victory.
So far, the teams that have won the FA Cup the most times are Arsenal (14), Manchester United (12) and Chelsea (8). And of course, everyone is hoping that their team will be the next one to add their name to this illustrious list.
