From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The world's oldest football cup competition, the English FA Cup for the 2006-07 season began with these qualifying rounds. With so many sides from lower down the English league pyramid taking part in the competition, the English FA organised a series of qualifying rounds. Those teams which won their matches progressed to subsequent rounds; whilst defeated teams took no further part in the competition.
The teams at the very start of the qualifying process are from the lowest steps of the English league system, with teams from each higher step being entered in subsequent rounds. Upon completion of this process, teams progress to the First Round Proper.
See FA Cup 2006-07 for details of the rounds from the First Round Proper onwards
