The Worcestershire County Football Association, also simply known as Worcestershire FA, is the governing body of football in the county of Worcestershire, England. It was founded in 1879, under the auspices of the Birmingham County Football Association, but earned representation the Football Association Council in its own right in 1912.
The Worcestershire FA runs a number of cups at different levels for teams all across Worcestershire, including competitions for senior men's teams, ladies teams, Sunday teams and junior competitions from Under-14 level to Under-18 level.

“I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
