The 2016 FA Cup Final is the 135th final of the FA Cup, the world's oldest football cup competition.
The winner will qualify for the 2016 FA Community Shield and the group stage of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League. If Manchester United win and have already qualified for European competition based on their position in the 2015–16 Premier League, the Europa League spot will be allocated to the highest placed Premier League team not already qualified for European competitions.
