Clubs participating in The Buildbase FA Vase 2020-21

Following the suspension of this season’s Buildbase FA Vase Competition on 31 December 2020 due to Government restrictions during the period of the national lockdown, the purpose of this communication is to confirm the following details which have been agreed by The FA National Game Board for the restart of 2020-21 Buildbase FA Vase Competition.

The main objective was to ensure the Competition could be completed in its usual format, with all remaining rounds being played on-field, and to ensure the Final can be played as part of FA Non-League Finals Day at Wembley Stadium in May.
