2023 FA Cup final
The 2023 FA Cup final was the final match of the 2022–23 FA Cup, the 142nd season of the oldest football tournament in the world, the Football Association Challenge Cup. It was played at Wembley Stadium in London on 3 June 2023 between Manchester City and Manchester United, making it the first time the Manchester derby was contested in a cup final.
Manchester City won the match 2–1 for their seventh FA Cup title and second double. İlkay Gündoğan broke the record for the fastest goal ever in an FA Cup final, scoring after just 12 seconds.
As winners Manchester City qualified for the UEFA Champions League tournament via their position in the 2022–23 Premier League, the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League position went to the sixth-placed Premier League team (Brighton & Hove Albion), while the 2023–24 UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round spot allocated to the team that finished sixth in the Premier League was awarded to the seventh-placed team (Aston Villa).
As winners of both the Premier League and FA Cup, Manchester City qualified for the 2023 FA Community Shield, which they lost on penalties to Premier League runners-up Arsenal.
The 2023 final marked the 100th anniversary of the first FA Cup final to be played at the original Wembley Stadium, the venue replaced by the current stadium in 2007. It was Manchester United's 21st appearance in the FA Cup final, tying the record set by Arsenal on their last appearance in 2020, and their first since 2018. Manchester City made their 12th FA Cup final appearance and their first since 2019.
It was the first time that the two Manchester clubs met in the FA Cup final, but the tenth such meeting at any stage of the competition and the 190th Manchester derby in total. The two clubs split the results between them in the Premier League during the season; City won the first match 6–3 at the City of Manchester Stadium in October 2022, while United won 2–1 at Old Trafford in January 2023.
Manchester City were seeking to win the continental treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, attempting to emulate the feat managed by Manchester United in 1998–99; they faced Inter Milan in the 2023 UEFA Champions League final a week after the FA Cup final, winning 1–0 and completing the treble. Manchester United were looking to secure their second trophy under manager Erik ten Hag, having won the EFL Cup in February 2023. They also had once successfully denied an opponent of a continental treble chase before – in 1977 at the expense of Liverpool.
A UK-wide train strike took place on the day of the final.
