The 2015–16 FA Cup (also known as the FA Challenge Cup) was the 135th edition of the oldest recognised football tournament in the world. It was sponsored by Emirates, and known as The Emirates FA Cup for sponsorship purposes.[1] It began with the extra preliminary round on 15 August 2015, and concluded with the final on 21 May 2016.[2] The FA Cup winner qualifies for the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League group stage. Premier League side Arsenal were the two-time defending champions after they beat Aston Villa 4–0 in the previous final on 30 May 2015,[3] but were eliminated by Watford in the sixth round. The winners were Manchester United, who defeated Crystal Palace 2–1 in the final after extra time.[4]
