What is FA Community Shield?
The FA Community Shield was first played in 1908 between the winners of English football’s top-division league and the winners of the Southern League. Manchester United (the First Division champions) beat the Queens Park Rangers (the Southern League champions) 4-0 in a replay after the first match was drawn 1-1. It remains the only match to be replayed in the league’s history.
However, the tournament’s name and the format in which it was played continued to change over the years before the competition was named the FA Community Shield in 2002. Arsenal won the match by beating Liverpool.
Such a name is the Community Shield, as the proceeds from the match tickets and other gains from the match go to all the 124 clubs participating in the FA Cup and then further donate to a charity of their choice.
