History

[edit]

Thefirst FA Cup Final was held atKennington Oval on 16 March 1872 and was contested betweenWanderers andRoyal Engineers, with Wanderers winning 1–0.

After the1873 final was held atLillie Bridge, the event was held at the Oval until 1892. The1893 and1894 finals were respectively held atFallowfield Stadium in Manchester andGoodison Park in Liverpool, before the event returned to London in 1895, being held atCrystal Palace until the outbreak ofWorld War I. After the war, the event was held atStamford Bridge, beforeWembley Stadium opened in 1923. Thefirst final at Wembley, in whichBolton Wanderers beatWest Ham United 2–0, had an official attendance of 126,047, although the actual figure is believed to be as much as 300,000. A police horse named Billy was used to regain control after the large crowd overflowed onto the field, earning it the nickname "White Horse Final". The1927 final saw "Abide with Me" being sung for the first time at the Cup final, which has become a pre-match tradition.[2]

Wembley continued to host the final until 2000, when it closed for redevelopment. TheMillennium Stadium inCardiff hosted the final between 2001 and 2006, before the newWembley Stadium opened in 2007.

Up to and including 1998, if the final ended in a draw, a replay would be required. This happened on 14 occasions, the last being in1993 between Arsenal andSheffield Wednesday. In September 1998, the Football Association decided that all future finals would be decided "on the day", meaning that apenalty shootout would decide the winner if the score was level after normal andextra time.[3] Three finals since have been decided by a penalty shootout, those of2005 (Arsenal defeatingManchester United),2006 (Liverpool defeating West Ham United) and2022 (Liverpool defeating Chelsea).

Stan Mortensen'shat-trick forBlackpool in1953 is the only hat-trick ever scored at Wembley in the competition's final.[4] The fastest goal in an FA Cup Final was scored byManchester City'sİlkay Gündoğan, 12 seconds after kick-off in the2023 FA Cup final.[5] Bury's 6–0 victory over Derby County in the1903 FA Cup final and Manchester City's 6–0 victory over Watford in the2019 FA Cup final are the largest winning margins. With his goal in the2012 Final,Chelsea'sDidier Drogba became the first player to score in four finals.

The FA Cup Final is one of ten events reserved for live broadcast on UK terrestrial television under theOfcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events.
