The world's oldest football cup competition, the English 2007-08 FA Cup began in August 2007. Due to many sides from lower down the English league pyramid taking part, the competition starts with a number of preliminary and qualifying rounds. The 32 victorious teams from the Fourth Qualifying Round progress to the First Round Proper.
