Football tournament season
1997–98 FA Cup qualifying rounds Country England Wales
The 1997–98 FA Cup qualifying rounds opened the 117th 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 563 clubs were accepted for the competition, down 11 from the previous season’s 574.
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.
