# Copa anglesa de futbol

La copa anglesa de futbol, també coneguda com a FA Cup (Football Association Challenge Cup), és la segona competició després de la Premier League en importància d'Anglaterra amb gran tradició i prestigi.

## Format

La copa anglesa de futbol es disputa anualment i hi solen prendre part al voltant de 600 equips membres de la Federació Anglesa de Futbol. La competició es disputa a partit únic per eliminatòries. El terreny de joc es decideix per sorteig. Si el partit acaba en empat, es disputa un nou partit al camp de l'equip que en el primer ha actuat com a forà. Hi prenen part clubs anglesos i gal·lesos que disputen la lliga anglesa tot i que històricament també hi ha participat algun club irlandès i escocès (com el Queen's Park de Glasgow, finalista dos cops el 1884 i 1885). El campió del torneig es classifica per la Copa de la UEFA.

## Seus

Tradicionalment la final de la copa anglesa s'ha disputat a l'estadi londinenc de Wembley. Degut a la reconstrucció de l'estadi, des del 2001 es va disputar al Millennium Stadium de Cardiff a Gal·les. Wembley va tornar a ser-ne la seu des del 2008. Antigament també es van disputar a altres estadis com el Kennington Oval (1872 i 1874-92), el Crystal Palace Park (1895-1914), Stamford Bridge (1920-22), i Lillie Bridge, a Fulham (Londres) el 1873. Les semifinals es disputen també en estadis neutrals
