More than 1,700 people spent the weekend dreaming of Wembley as the FA People's Cup semi-finals were staged in 16 venues across England to determine who will play the finals in May.

The FA People's Cup - a partnership between BBC Get Inspired and the Football Association - is a free 5-a-side knockout competition which will see our semi-finalists take part in a very special version of the FA Cup.
