Football Champion character jug prototype modeled by Stanley J. Taylor and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in 1993. This stalwart English footballer, perhaps the captain of the winning team, has just been presented the FA Cup, as represented on the handle. The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after The Football Association. The FA Cup was first held in 1871-72, and is the oldest association football competition in the world. Because it involves clubs of all standards playing against each other, there is the possibility for "minnows" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament and even theoretically win the Cup, although lower division teams rarely reach the final. The competition is a knockout tournament with pairings for each round drawn at random - there are no seeds, and the draw for each round is not made until after the scheduled dates for the previous round. The draw also determines which teams will play at home. As well as being presented with the trophy, the winning team also qualifies for the UEFA Europe League Championship. The FA Cup final is played at London's Wembley Stadium, with presentation of the trophy being made at the Royal Box.
