FA Community Shield

Traditional season-opening match between the reigning league champions and FA Cup holders.

Sourcing caveat: Renamed from FA Charity Shield to FA Community Shield in 2002. The 1898-1907 Sheriff of London Charity Shield is a genuinely separate predecessor competition, not simply an earlier name for the same trophy.

Full season-by-season results for the FA Community Shield haven't been built out yet — this page exists so the Football competitions directory doesn't link to a dead end. It will be filled in with real, sourced results as the build order reaches this competition. See the full Football competitions directory or About & Methodology for the current build order.
