The 2021 FA Trophy final was an association football match played between Hereford and Hornchurch at Wembley Stadium, London, England on 22 May 2021.[2] It was the final match of the 2020–21 FA Trophy, the 52nd season of the FA Trophy. Hornchurch won the match 3–1, securing their maiden FA Trophy.[3]
Hornchurch's season in the Isthmian League Premier Division was suspended in November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and they were unable to play any league football. During this time they were financially supported by West Ham United chairman, David Sullivan who once lived in Hornchurch.[4] Likewise Hereford's season in the National League North had been declared null and void on 18 February 2021, having played their last league fixture of the season two days prior.[5]
