FA Trophy Quarter-Final Fixtures Set as Clubs Eye Wembley Dream
The road to Wembley just became very real for eight clubs across English football, as the FA Trophy quarter-final fixtures have now been confirmed and the stakes could not be higher.
The draw has locked in four compelling ties, each carrying its own storyline, pressure and promise. These matches will be played on Saturday, February 28 and for the teams involved, this is no longer just about another cup run. This is about history, belief and a genuine shot at silverware.
Southport will host Yeovil Town in a clash that brings together experience and ambition. Yeovil know what big occasions feel like, but Southport have turned their home ground into a fortress this season and that makes this fixture far from predictable.
Marine welcome Woking in what many are calling one of the most finely balanced ties of the round. Marine’s journey has already captured attention and a home quarter-final gives them momentum. But Woking arrive battle-tested, with a squad that understands how to manage high-pressure knockout football.

Kidderminster Harriers face Wealdstone at Aggborough and this one carries extra edge. Kidderminster’s run has been built on resilience and timely goals, while Wealdstone, from the National League, bring physicality and confidence. Ninety minutes here could define an entire season for both sides.
And then there is Horsham against Southend United. On paper, Southend’s stature stands out, but the FA Trophy has a long history of rewriting expectations. Horsham will see this as a once-in-a-generation opportunity, playing at home with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Beyond pride and progress, there is also a financial boost on the line. Winning clubs at this stage collect a significant cash prize, while even the losing sides receive valuable support. For clubs operating outside the top tiers, this money matters. It can shape recruitment, facilities and long-term stability.
But more than that, this competition matters because it represents the heart of English football. These are community clubs, built on volunteers, loyal supporters and belief that on the right day, anything is possible.
As the quarter-finals approach, the margins will be thin. One moment can decide a season. One goal can change a club’s future.
Stay with us as these fixtures unfold, because the FA Trophy continues to prove that drama, passion and dreams do not belong only to the top level of the game.
