The men's FA Cup Final is the oldest football tournament in the world, and one of the most highly attended football events globally, too - more than 80,000 people went to Wembley Stadium for the 2022-23 match between Manchester City and Manchester United.

The Football Association (FA) was formed in 1863 to represent professional teams in England, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.

The FA Cup Final promises an exciting experience between the best teams in the country, at the most iconic football stadium, with tickets sold mostly by the two competing teams directly to fans.

The women's FA Cup Final takes place at Wembley in May; the 2022-23 final drew more than 77,000 people, a world record for a women's domestic club match.
