At Soccerworld, the nationwide small-sided football competition – run in partnership with BBC Get Inspired – will commence on the week of Monday, February 19 with the event also ran in association with the Cumberland FA.
The FA People’s Cup, which is free to enter, is the largest small-sided football competition in the country and welcomes male, female and disability players across 18 categories – ranging from Under-14s to veterans (Over-35s).
Players can register if they are part of an established team or wishing to join “wildcard” side that are formed prior to the tournament starting.
Once the registration is complete, the competition will take place over three rounds.
Last season, a team representing Harraby Catholic Club reached the FA People’s Cup Grand Final.
Ray Sempill, Cumberland FA football development officer, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting the FA People’s Cup in Cumbria this year.
“This competition is massive all over the nation and widely regarded as the most inclusive competition in the UK.
“It gives everyday folk like us a chance to compete in their version of the FA Cup.”
With two rounds to progress through before the finals at St George’s Park in April, and a chance to be at Wembley for the Emirates FA Cup Final in May, could your FA People’s Cup dreams come true this season?
