The Football Association Challenge Trophy, commonly known as the FA Trophy, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after The 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. Eligibility rules have changed over time, but as of 2008 the competition is open to clubs playing in Steps 1-4 of the National League System, equivalent to levels 5-8 of the overall English football league system. This covers the Football Conference, the Southern League, Isthmian League, and Northern Premier League. Clubs in levels 5 to 7 of the National League System play in the FA Vase instead.

The final of the competition was held at the original Wembley Stadium from the tournament's instigation until the stadium closed in 2000. Since the opening of the new Wembley Stadium in 2007, the final has once again been played at the national stadium. The record for the most FA Trophy wins is shared by Woking and two defunct clubs, Scarborough and Telford United, with three victories each.

The Trophy is currently held by Darlington who beat Mansfield Town 1-0 after extra time.

1.02 min. | 4.90 user rating		 This video ans song describes what the song says to our BELOVED neighbours...the Box Room of Valletta...Floriana. They haven't won an honour since 1990. And they thought that they can win the U*BET FA TROPHY match...but we had left it late. After 2mins Moffaland scored through a non-existing penalty...where their new foreign player jump and fell like a SISSY in the box. And the stupid ref, gave it. After 90mins of TOTAL BOMBARDAMENT, Valletta managed to score in the 94th minute of the injury time, where off a cross of Roderick Briffa, Paulo Massaro putted the ball past Suessner after having a great match. Massaro putted the match in extra time. After 2mins of the extra time, it was Massaro again where off a cross of Ian Zammit, Massaro lobbed the ball over Suessner to make it 2-1. Before the half-time whistle of extra-time Moffaland managed to pull one back with an own goal of Luke Dimech. The match ended 4-1 in penalties where Moffaland missed 3 penalties and presented VALLETTA FC a place in the semi-finals!
