Football tournament season
1996-97 FA Cup Qualifying Rounds Country England Wales
The 1996–97 FA Cup Qualifying Rounds opened the 116th 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 574 clubs were accepted for the competition, down one from the previous season's 575.
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. The 28 winning teams from Fourth Round Qualifying progressed to the First Round Proper , where League teams tiered at Levels 3 and 4 entered the competition.
