2013/14 FA Cup: 2014 FA Cup Final Date Confirmed

The FA have announced that the FA Cup Final will take place on Saturday 17th May. A week after the Premier League has finished, and so on a day on its own. Good news! Let’s hope for a 3pm kick off.

Alex Horne, The FA’s General Secretary, said-

We’re well aware that fans and media have been calling for The FA Cup Final to have a day to itself and we’re delighted that this is going to happen for 2014.

It’s the first time we’ve managed to get The FA Cup Final a stand alone date since Chelsea v Portsmouth in 2010 but there have been various reasons for that, not least the two UEFA Champions League Finals at Wembley Stadium, which have been fantastic occasions and required huge resources and a massive build-up time behind the scenes.

There are 737 entries for the FA Cup competition this season. The Extra Preliminary Round will be on Saturday 17th August.

As we did last season, Exeweb hope to bring extensive coverage of the early round and all the important news concerning this competition.
