1990–91 FA Cup qualifying rounds
Football tournament season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1990–91 FA Cup qualifying rounds opened the 110th season of competition in England for 'The Football Association Challenge Cup' (FA Cup), the world's oldest association football single knockout competition. A total of 563 clubs were accepted for the competition, up 23 from the previous season's 540. The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down (Levels 5 through 8) in the English football pyramid meant that the competition started with five rounds of preliminary (1) and qualifying (4) knockouts for these non-League teams.
