Atville: Being able to enforce the FA Cup final is something every referee dreams of

May 16th According to the official website of the FA, Atville accepted an interview with reporters before the FA Cup final.

It is reported that Atville will lead Crystal Palace and Manchester City to the stadium on Saturday to serve as the referee of the 2025 FA Cup final. Before this game, we interviewed Atville to hear how he felt about being able to enforce the FA Cup final.

Regarding law enforcement, things like FA Cup finals are always sudden. As a referee, all you can do is perform well and give yourself the opportunity to match this supreme honor. It was so nervous that you didn’t have time to think about other things and just focus on the next game. However, being able to enforce the FA Cup final is something every referee dreams of.

Memories about the FA Cup

This is always a special day in the sports calendar; it will be marked at the beginning of the season. When I was a kid, I remembered that the whole process had been covered since the morning, and pre-match preparations were almost as important as the game itself. The first final I remember clearly was the 1991 Tottenham Forest game against Nottingham Forest. The game was very exciting, and I was thinking at the time how great it would be if I could enforce the law! Although I have never met Brian Clough (the coach of Nottingham Forest at the time) as a referee, I really hope to have a chance, a legend in English football.

About the FA Cup finals

This year's final will be a great moment for everyone heading to Wembley Stadium. Absolutely, it will be a game that will be unforgettable for all participants, players, coaches and fans. For Crystal Palace, this is their third time to reach the finals, and I hope there will be good luck this time. And for Manchester City and its fans, Wembley Stadium has become their second home court in recent years, and they have an amazing record at Wembley. No matter what the result is, it can be a great final. From a personal point of view, my family and friends will also be there to watch the game, which is always special. As a referee, you often travel outside, so it is always gratifying to be supported on the spot.
