Football is a sport that connects communities and countries and is seen as one of the more engaging sports in the world. From the FIFA World Cup to the UEFA Champions League which sees the cream of football’s giants gather to showcase their skills, football has etched its presence as a global language that continues to draw in hordes of passionate followers. English football for that matter is held in high regard as it never fails to enthral viewers who eagerly await the dawn of every new season.
The FA Cup is rated as the oldest football cup competition in the world and has seen the ‘underdog’ triumph on many an occasion over the more illustrious and rampaging teams. Evidence of this fact was revealed at last year’s final where Wigan Athletic secured a 1-0 win over their much fancied opponents, Manchester City. The event which was first played in the 1871-72 season has now entered its 133rd year and will no doubt aim to emulate the feats of the past where wonder goals were scored, tackles made, penalties saved and a whole lot more.
This year’s final is scheduled to take place on the 17th of May 2014 at the new Wembley Stadium and will be sponsored by Budweiser. Currently the round robin matches are being contested by teams in the Barclays Premier League and all those in the lower tiers of English football. In order to catch the magic of this showpiece event, booking your tickets early would ensure that you do not miss out on the thrills and spills that are sure to surround the Grand Final.
With leading names tipped to take their places in the knockout stages of the competition, fans are in for a right royal treat of dazzling football within the cauldron of Wembley Stadium. So if you are thinking of heading over to England during this period, make sure to lookout for 4 star UK hotels to stay in. Offering pleasing accommodation and great sightseeing opportunities, any property of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels UK would be the best bet. In addition to UK hotel specials, these abodes are known for unsurpassed luxury and memorable getaways.
