The Football Association (FA) has announced that the FA Cup semi-finals will be played in a home-and-away format next season, starting from the quarter-final stage.
This is good news for fans of English football, as it means that they will have the opportunity to watch their team play at home and support them in their own stadium. This will also allow teams who are not able to travel to away matches due to financial constraints or other reasons to still participate in the competition.
The change in format will also give teams more time to prepare for the semi-finals, which can be particularly important when playing against stronger opponents on the road.
It remains to be seen how this new format will affect the outcome of the competition, but one thing is clear - it's sure to be an exciting and unpredictable series of matches!
