Understanding the FA Cup Format

- Qualifying Rounds: These initial rounds open the door for lower league teams to enter the fray.
- Main Round: After the qualifying rounds, higher-ranked teams join the competition.
- Round of 16: The competition intensifies as teams battle for a spot in the quarter-finals.
