Brighton advanced to the final by overcoming a two-goal deficit against Liverpool, securing a 3-2 victory with a 95th-minute winner from Nadine Noordam.

The club also defeated Arsenal in the quarterfinals and beat Manchester City in their most recent Women's Super League encounter in April.

Pre-Match and Post-Match Ceremonies

The Football Association announced the running order for the event.

Sammy Rowland from Leyton Orient will walk out the match ball as the prospective winner of the Mitre Golden Ball award for the tournament's top scorer.

Rowland has scored 15 goals this campaign and is the first player to win the accolade twice, having previously claimed it in the 2022-23 competition with Hashtag United.

British Army aircraft technician Staff Sergeant Amber Marsh will place the trophy on the plinth before kick-off.

Marsh has served for nearly 17 years and participated in multiple overseas military football tours.

FA Chair Debbie Hewitt MBE will guide the official presentation party, which includes Adobe Vice President of Business Operations Allison Blais and Women's Professional Game Committee Chair Nikki Doucet.

Team captains will introduce their squads to the dignitaries, and south-east London vocalist Duchess will perform the National Anthem after recording a bespoke pre-match build-up song with DJ Char Stape.
