Rising Cumbrian goalkeeping star James Trafford will play at Wembley for the first time.
It comes after he helped Bolton Wanderers reach the Papa John's Trophy final.
The 20-year-old from Greysouthen was involved as Bolton beat Accrington Stanley 2-0 in their semi-final.
It set up a final against fellow League One club Plymouth Argyle on April 2.
Trafford, who is on loan from Manchester City, kept his 20th clean sheet in 37 appearances this season to seal Bolton's place in the final.
The England Under-21 international, who was on Carlisle United's academy books before joining City aged 11, kept Accrington at bay as goals from Elias Kachunga and Aaron Morley sent Bolton through.
Another Cumbrian, Kyle Dempsey, will also have the chance to play at the national stadium with Bolton. The Maryport midfielder was not involved in the semi-final following injury.

Ex-Carlisle player Gethin Jones was also among the Bolton players who saw off Accrington, the full-back coming off the bench.
The result thwarted an Accrington side who included striker Aaron Pressley - son of former United boss Steven - and ex-Blues loan keeper Lukas Jensen.
Bolton will now meet a Plymouth team which also has ex-Carlisle United influences.
They are managed by former Blues loan midfielder Steven Schumacher, while ex-United players Macaulay Gillesphey and Sam Cosgrove are in the Argyle ranks.
Both striker Cosgrove and defender Gillesphey came off the bench to score penalties in their 3-2 shoot-out win over Cheltenham Town, after a 1-1 draw in their semi-final at Home Park.
The presence of two of League One's biggest clubs in the final should ensure a good crowd at the Wembley showpiece.
The Trophy, though, remains controversial in the eyes of many lower-league fans over its involvement of Premier League Under-21 teams.
No top-flight club has so far managed to reach the final since the competition was revamped to include them in 2016.
