Manchester City Make FA Cup History with Seventh Consecutive Semi-Final

Manchester City have become the first team in FA Cup history to reach the semi-finals in seven consecutive seasons.

The Premier League champions secured their place in the last four once again, setting a new tournament record. No other club has previously managed to advance to this stage in as many successive campaigns.

Despite their consistent performance, City have lifted the FA Cup trophy only twice during this run — in 2019 and 2023. The team’s regular presence in the final stages underlines their dominance in domestic competitions, although ultimate success has not always followed.

This achievement further highlights the impact of manager Pep Guardiola, who took charge in 2016 and has since turned the club into one of the most consistent forces in English football.

Key Facts About Manchester City:

• The club was founded in 1880 as St. Mark’s (West Gorton) and adopted the name Manchester City in 1894.
• Under Guardiola, City have won five Premier League titles, among other domestic and international trophies.
• City’s first FA Cup triumph came in 1904.

The semi-final stage of the current FA Cup season is set to take place at Wembley Stadium in April.
