FAW clarifies Amateur Trophy quarter-final dates

The FAW have cleared up confusion over dates for the next round of the Amateur Trophy.

When Grassroots North Wales revealed today the scheduled date for the quarter-final draw is January 7, concern was expressed by a number of competing clubs.

These clubs were under the impression the last eight ties were taking place on January 10 – just three days after the draw, thus leaving minimal time to make arrangements, including potential long-distance travel.

However, the FAW confirmed the quarter-finals will not take place until February 20-22, so clubs will have ample time after the draw to prepare. The original plans for an extra round in January were scrapped.

An FAW spokesman said: “The quarter-finals are scheduled for 20-22 February – there may have originally been a round scheduled for January but this was removed as it wasn’t required due to the number of teams who entered.”

QUARTER-FINALS LINE UP (ties scheduled for Feb 20-22, 2026)

Llangefni Town
CPD Llannefydd
Penmaenmawr Phoenix
Prestatyn Town
Llanrwst United or CPD Dinas Bangor City 1876 (playing Saturday, Dec 20)
