Football tournament season
The FA Cup 1970–71 is the 90th season of the world's oldest football knockout competition; The Football Association Challenge Cup , or FA Cup for short. The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down the English football league system meant that the competition started with a number of preliminary and qualifying rounds. The 28 victorious teams from the fourth round qualifying progressed to the first round proper.
