cup final
Trophy game decider
A cup final is the decisive match in a knockout tournament, typically in football (soccer), that determines the overall winner of the competition.
Unlike league championships decided by accumulated points, cup competitions eliminate teams through successive rounds until two remain for this single concluding game.
The FA Cup final is held at Wembley Stadium.
Major cup finals draw massive television audiences and carry significant prestige for the winning club.
