The2024 FA Trophy final was anassociation football match played atWembley Stadium,London, on 11 May 2024. It was the 55thFA Trophy final and was contested betweenGateshead andSolihull Moors. It was Gateshead's second consecutive final following their defeat theprevious year, and Solihull Moors' first final.[1] Due to sponsorship byIsuzu, the final was officially named theIsuzu FA Trophy Final.
As part of Non-League Finals Day, theFA Vase final was played earlier in the day at the same venue.[2] Each club from both matches had its supporters allocated to one of four dedicated sections of Wembley Stadium. Gateshead fans were housed on the east side of the stadium while followers of Solihull were on the west side. There was also a neutral section for other spectators.[3] The match was televised live onTNT Sports 1, whileBBC Radio Newcastle andBBC Radio WM provided radio commentary.[4]
As participants in the2023–24 National League, the clubs met twice during the league season.
