It will be the fifth FA game to be held at Stadiummk, following three men’s Under-21 victories, against Bulgaria, Azerbaijan and Finland in 2007, 2009 and 2013 respectively, while Brian Eastick’s U19 side defeated Russia 3-1 in Milton Keynes in 2008.

Vice Chairman of The FA Women’s Committee, Elaine Oram, said: "We thank Milton Keynes Dons for agreeing to host what is traditionally the biggest and most high-profile domestic women’s match of the season.

"We were impressed with the enthusiasm they showed to stage The Final on our behalf and we are sure they will do a magnificent job, with the help of the City Council and the Berks & Bucks County FA.

"And to once again have the support of the BBC is absolutely fantastic. The BBC broadcast all three of England Women’s home World Cup qualifiers last year and we look forward to more excellent coverage of women’s football throughout 2014."

Tickets for The Final will go on sale on Friday 21 February.

This season’s competition is currently at the Fourth Round stage. The eight FA WSL 1 clubs will enter the fray in Round Five.

Arsenal extended their record of Cup wins to 12 last season, defeating Bristol Academy 3-0 in The Final.
