The Football Association Community Shield (formerly the Charity Shield) is English football's annual match contested between the champions of the previous Premier League season and the holders of the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium. If the Premier League champions also won the FA Cup then the league runners-up provide the opposition. Often seen as a "a cup" which ranks below the FA Cup and League Cup, the fixture is a recognised football Super Cup.
Organised by the Football Association, proceeds from the game are distributed to community-based initiatives and charities around the country. Revenue from the gate receipts and match programme sales is distributed to the 124 clubs who competed in The FA Cup from the First Round onwards, for onward distribution to charities and projects of their choice, while the remainder is distributed to the FA's national charity partners.^[1] The fixture was first played in the 1908–09 season, replacing the Sheriff of London Charity Shield.
The current holders are Manchester City, who defeated Chelsea 3–2 in the 2012 Community Shield on 12 August 2012.
