Are you a common ‘Instagrammer’ at football games? If not, then you’ll want to be with the Football Association’s announcements that the tickets for the FA Cup Final will include a photo taken by a fan on Instagram at a FA Cup game during the 2015/16 season.

In an initiative that is truly the sign of the times, the photo will be chosen between the first round and the semi-finals and will be incorporated into the design of tickets for the Final, which takes place in May.

It is a big step forward for English football with the FA Cup Final one of the most important dates in the sporting calendar. And with only just over 90,000 tickets printed for the match which will be staged at Wembley, it is a unique chance for fans to become a unique part of football history.
