The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world, commencing in 1871-72. On July 20, 1871, in the offices of The Sportsman newspaper, C. W. Alcock proposed that "a Challenge Cup should be established in connection with the Association", giving birth to the FA Cup. The FA Cup is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after The Football Association.Four first-round matches were the first FA Cup games ever played - on November 11, 1871.
