The Football Association has received approval to conclude the last three rounds of the 2019/20 Women’s FA Cup with the final to be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 31 October.

Albion will face Birmingham City in the quarter-final at home on the weekend of September 26-27 with semi-finals scheduled for September 30-October 1. 

Ticket information and venue details for our game against Birmingham City will be announced in due course.

Kelly Simmons, the FA’s Director of the Women’s Professional Game, said: “A significant amount of work has been going on behind the scenes to ensure the Women’s FA Cup can be completed and I am delighted that we have received the necessary approval for its conclusion.

"The Women’s FA Cup is a showpiece fixture in the football calendar and because of that there was huge appetite within the FA for the three remaining rounds to be played. We welcome the opportunity for a champion to be crowned at Wembley Stadium at the end of October.”

With government guidelines still uncertain as to the level of fans permissible in stadiums, the FA will refund all ticket holders for the postponed final in May.

The FA will continue to follow government guidance on fans returning to stadiums. A further announcement will be made closer to the Wembley final on any ticketing arrangements and the opportunity to re-book, should rules change on football being played behind closed doors.
