The road to Wembley is gathering pace after the draw for the 2025/26 Isuzu FA Vase semi-finals was made – with four Non-League dreamers now just two matches away from glory.

After a gripping quarter-final stage, Hallen, AFC Stoneham, Cockfosters and Punjab United remain in the hunt to etch their names into Vase history.

When will the semi-finals take place?

The Isuzu FA Vase semi-finals will be played over two legs.

The first legs are scheduled for Saturday, 28th March 2026, with the return fixtures set for Saturday, 4th April 2026.

The aggregate winners will secure their place under the Wembley arch.

Who is in the semi-finals?

Hallen’s remarkable run continues and the penalty kings will face AFC Stoneham for a place in the final.

The Armadillos saw off West Didsbury & Chorlton after rescuing the game deep into added time. Syd Camper scored a late goal before his side secured their third penalty shootout victory this season.

Meanwhile, the high-flying Purples cruised to a 3-0 win over Coventry United at the weekend to progress.

Both clubs are chasing a first-ever FA Vase triumph and know they are now within touching distance of a historic day at the national stadium.

In the other tie, Cockfosters take on Punjab United.

Gavin Kelsey’s side overcame Droylsden 4-2 on Saturday to book their place in the last four, while Punjab United needed a late winner from Jack Hopkins to edge past Downton – much to the delight of their elated chief, Chipie Sian.

With no former winners remaining in the competition, a brand new name will be engraved on the trophy this season.

What is the prize fund at this stage?

There is also a significant financial incentive on the line.

The winners of each semi-final tie will receive £5,500, while the losing sides will collect £1,725 from the competition prize fund.

Those sums can provide a substantial boost as clubs continue to manage tight budgets while chasing silverware.
