    There are also University Male and University Female categories, as well as Futsal, an indoor game, which is played by colleges.

    Who said students are lazy eh? Let's see how some of them are getting on ...

  10. What's in it for the winners?published at 10:44 Greenwich Mean Time 24 March 2019

    So, you get to play for fun, with your mates, and get fit. But if that's not enough, winners from today will go on to the finals weekend on April 27/28 at St George's Park - training base for the England national teams.

    Still not satisfied? Well, each winning team in the 15 categories will lift their trophy at the FA Cup final at Wembley in May.

    Like this lot did last year ...

    Are you playing today? Or maybe you've popped along to one of the venues to cheers on your pals. Either way, we want to hear from you. Tell us how you're getting on, send us your good luck messages, pictures, and videos on social media using #FAPeoplesCup.

  13. The magic of the FA People's Cuppublished at 10:30 Greenwich Mean Time 24 March 2019

    The FA People's Cup is the nation's biggest, and most inclusive, five-a-side tournament. There are 15 categories, from Walking Football to several Disability competitions. In the first round we started with 4,500 teams in 240 venues. We then went down to 500 teams at 24 venues. By the end of today there will be 98 teams left.

    Sounds like serious business, but it's all about having fun and enjoying the beautiful game, no matter what level you're playing at.

    Here's a taster of what you can expect ...
