FA Vase First Round Proper draw: Reading City at home while Windsor & Eton head to Hampshire

The FA has released the full draw for the the 2025/26 FA Vase First Round Proper with Burnham, Tadley Calleva and Windsor & Eton included for the first time.

The trio were exempt to the First Round after reaching the Third Round last season while there were four other sides who have battled through the Qualifying Rounds.
