The 2024 FA Community Shield is scheduled to be the 102nd FA Community Shield, an annual association football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Premier League and FA Cup competitions. It will be played at Wembley Stadium in London on 10 August 2024,[2] and will feature the 2023–24 Premier League champions Manchester City and the 2023–24 FA Cup winners Manchester United, who defeated City in the final.
Arsenal are the defending champions, but they did not qualify for this edition, having been knocked out in the third round of the FA Cup and finishing second in the league.
Background
[edit]Manchester City and Manchester United qualified for the 2024 FA Community Shield as the winners of the 2023–24 Premier League and the 2023–24 FA Cup, respectively. It will be the 194th Manchester derby to take place in all competitions and the third to take place in the Community Shield; Manchester United won both previous meetings in 1956 (when the competition was known as the Charity Shield) and 2011.[3]
Manchester United have both appeared in and won the most Community Shield matches, winning 21 of their 30 appearances, although this includes four shared titles in 1965, 1967, 1977 and 1990; their most recent title came in 2016.[4] Manchester City have appeared in 15 Community Shield matches, winning six titles, the most recent coming in 2019.[5] It will be their fourth Community Shield match in a row, with three previous appearances resulting in defeats, the first team to suffer this feat since United in 2001, when they lost a competition record fourth in a row.[6]
