From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FA Cup 1999-2000 was the 119th staging of the world's oldest cup competition, the Football Association Cup or FA Cup. Both the semi-finals and final of the competition were played at Wembley Stadium for the last time before reconstruction work began. The competition culminated with the FA Cup Final between Chelsea F.C. and Aston Villa F.C. and the game was won by a goal from Chelsea's Roberto Di Matteo, giving them a 1-0 victory.
The main competition started in November 1999, for clubs from the Football League and Premiership. For details on the preliminary and qualifying rounds of the FA Cup see FA Cup Archives.
[edit] Controversy
Manchester United chose to play in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship, and did not even enter a team into the FA Cup, receiving much criticism from journalists and television pundits alike. United thus became the first FA Cup winners not to defend their title. To keep the competition running smoothly, a "lucky loser" from the second round was selected to play in the third round. Darlington F.C. were selected to play, despite losing their second round match.
