It is a nervous wait for the players in Romford who are waiting to find out their first opponents tonight. Looks like organisers are going for the 'slip of paper out of the cardboard box' routine.
Becky Doggett: Looking forward to seeing @BenyonPark in the FA #PeoplesCup in Leeds tonight! Come on Lads!
South Ashford FC: Good luck to our U16s who travel to @goals_dartford later today for the @FA #PeoplesCup @bbcgetinspired.

OK, not entirely true but Yorkshire St Pauli are made up of the team's supporter's club members. They love the club partly because they are rubbish but mainly because they stand for anti-fascism and anti-racism.
They also work closely with a Leeds refugee charity to provide not only financial support through our membership but also by welcoming refugees and asylum seekers into the group football games.
They have entered two teams and with a mixture of members and refugees.
Nicole: @YorksStPauli FC are getting ready for #PeoplesCup.
You might be asking, who?! The full lowdown on Yorkshire St Pauli follows...
Seven-time motorsport world champion Carl Fogarty visited 'City in the Community' to take part in one of their weekly walking football sessions.
The rules of the game are similar to those of 5-a-side football - but running is forbidden.
Walking football is one of the categories included in the FA People's Cup. The national 5-a-side football tournament is open to established teams as well as individuals looking to join a team.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Skrtels
Tekkerslovakia
Balotellitubbies
Bayern Nevalusen
Sheffield's Finest Tea and Busquets
And finally, top of the lot: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogeryantysiliogogogoch Rovers.
If they win it, it is going to be a difficult job fitting all that on the trophy.
BBC Get Inspired's Chris Whyatt in Romford: "Tension building in dusky Romford! U14s and U19s boys tonight - 35 teams in total, only two can go through to the semis. Icy cold in Essex, but will soon heat up once the action kicks off."
Goals Soccer Centres: READY @bbcgetinspired. READY @FA. READY @goals_soccer. READY #PeoplesCup. ARE U?

Image source, Getty ImagesThe FA People's Cup welcomes male, female and disability players across 10 categories - ranging from under-12s through to veterans (over 35s). It also features walking football, which caters to those who enjoy playing the beautiful game at a slightly more sedate pace!
A total of 4306 teams have signed up, which makes it a huge 30,000+ players. Now that is what you call a competition!
The competition will take place over three rounds. The first round starts today and ends on Sunday. Eight regional venues will host the semi-finals, on 24-26 April.
The finals will take place on Monday, 25 May - a Bank Holiday - in Manchester, and the winning teams will be given a VIP trip to the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on 30 May.
Finalists from the disability tournament will be decided through a series of disability football festivals taking place in March. Up to 27 disability festivals will take place nationally.
