The FA Cup competition consists of 12 rounds. In August, clubs at levels 8, 9 and 10 start to play their regional knockout matches, which are drawn at random. The team with the largest number of goals in a match wins, advancing to the next round and the losing team is knocked out of the competition. If a match ends in a draw, it is replayed. As the months move on, so does the competition and the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals are played in spring each year. The semi-finals and finals are played at Wembley stadium, with a capacity of 90,000. The winners of the entire championship win the FA Cup and 40 winners’ medals to be distributed among the tem, staff and officials.
When it comes to wins and finals appearances, Arsenal leads the way. Arsenal have won 14 times in total and made 21 appearances in a final. However, the most recent FA Cup winners are Liverpool F.C., who beat Chelsea on 14th May 2022 in a penalty shootout 6-5.
