Cup Final

Trophy decider game

A Cup Final is the decisive match in a knockout tournament, typically in football (soccer), that determines the overall winner of the competition.

The term is most associated with prestigious domestic cup competitions like England's FA Cup Final, traditionally held at Wembley Stadium.

Unlike league championships decided over a full season, cup finals are single-elimination showdowns where everything rides on one game.

Tickets to the Cup Final sold out within hours.
