Football Association Trophy Final Statistics 1969-70 to 2023-24
Explore our FA Trophy finals winners and runners up with results and attendance figures. The Football Association Challenge Trophy, commonly known as the FA Trophy, is a football knockout cup competition run by and named after the English Football Association and competed for primarily by semi-professional teams. The competition was instigated in 1969 to cater for those non-league clubs which paid their players and were therefore not eligible to enter the FA Amateur Cup.
