FA Cup Winners, 1872-2021

Leicester City wearing maroon because their usual blue

would have clashed with that of opposing Chelsea.

Congratulations to Leicester City, who won the 2021 Football Association Cup by beating Chelsea 1-0 at the new Wembley Stadium in North London today.

This makes the "Foxes" the 1st side from England's Midlands to win the FA Cup since Coventry City in 1987 -- 34 years.
