2011-12 FA Cup

## Overview

The 2011-12 FA Cup was the 131st rendition of the FA Cup. It saw Chelsea win 2-1 over Liverpool in the finals to claim their 7th title. April 2011 was the closing date for applications, and saw 825 clubs wanting to participate. It was said in July 2011 that 763 out of those 825 were accepted. The final took place at Wembley Stadium, in London, England.

The winner of the competition would automatically be placed in the group stage of the 2012-13 UEFA Europa League, but, Chelsea had won the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League already, and since Liverpool had won the League Cup that year, and no more than 4 teams from one country were allowed to compete in the competition, the spot fell to Tottenham Hotspur.

The tournament saw Tottenham Hotspur's Fabrice Muamba suffer cardiac arrest during a game against Bolton Wanderers in the sixth round. After multiple attempts to resuscitate him, he was taken to the hospital, which therefore meant the game was postponed. On March 27, the match was replayed, where Tottenham won 3-1.
