History & Tradition of wembley singles

History: Wembley KO can be known as a Wembo (1 man wembo) or knock-outs - an informal variant on football originating spontaneously in different parts of the world. One goalkeeper, (and a ref as required), stands in the goal to stop the football getting in, as in normal FA rules football. The rest of the players try to score in the goal. Each player competes against each other and must score a predetermined amount (usually one) of goals to progress to the next round.Once a player has qualified they normally sit out until the end of the round. The round continues until only one player or team have failed to score the requisite number of goals and are therefore eliminated. The rest of the players start a next round which progresses in the same way. The last player/team left wins. Undecided events go to sudden death penalty shoot-outs
