List of FA Cup Winners : Manchester City and Manchester United will contest the 2023 FA Cup final on Saturday at the historic Wembley Stadium and we take a look at all past winners of the oldest soccer competition of the world.
The 2023 FA Cup final will be the 142nd season of the oldest football tournament in the world, the Football Association Challenge Cup.
It will be played at Wembley Stadium in London on 3 June 2023 between Manchester City and Manchester United, making it the first time the Manchester derby will be contested in a cup final.
The match kicks off 14 : 00 GMT.
The winners would have earned the right to play in the group stage of the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League.
However, since both teams had qualified for the group stage of the 2023–24 UEFA Champions League through their position in the Premier League, the Europa League spot allocated to the winners of the 2022–23 FA Cup was awarded to the team that finished sixth in the Premier League (Brighton & Hove Albion), and the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round spot allocated to the team that finished sixth in the Premier League was awarded to the seventh-placed team (Aston Villa).
Manchester United will qualify for the 2023 FA Community Shield if they win the match; Manchester City have already qualified as winners of the Premier League. If Manchester City win, Arsenal will qualify for the competition as Premier League runners-up.
City are the team on form going into the final having won the Premier League title already and will also play the 2023 UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan on June 10th in Istanbul.
The team of Pep Guardiola have won 42 matches in 59 games in all competitions this season whilst drawing 10 games and losing just 7 matches. They have scored 148 times in those 59 matches.
Meanwhile Manchester United will be looking forward to hand their city rivals the worst preparatory match ahead of the Inter Milan final.
