Friday 14 Aug 2015
The SSE Women's FA Cup begins again on Sunday 6 September

Less than two weeks after Chelsea lifted the SSE Women’s FA Cup at Wembley Stadium, 262 clubs are already looking forward to the 2015-16 campaign.

The new season of Cup action gets under way with the first round qualifying on Sunday 6 September, while the second round qualifying will take place on Sunday 20 September.

The SSE Women’s FA Cup is in its 46th season and Arsenal have been the dominant force in the competition, winning the Cup a record 13 times, including eight successes in the last 12 years.

Emma Hayes’s Chelsea won the Cup for the first time under the arch on Saturday 1 August in front of a record Final crowd of 30,710.

And the adventure begins again...
