Czechoslovak Football Cup
The Czechoslovak Football Cup (Czech: Československý Pohár ) was a football - cup competition for Czechoslovak club teams. He was from 1960 / 61 bis 1992 / 93 annually by the Czechoslovak Football Association organized.
precursor
The clubs of Central Bohemia , especially the Prague teams, were able to prevent the creation of a nationwide cup competition for a long time because their own cup (Czech: Středočeský Pohár , see also: Czech Cup ) would have lost its importance. In the 1938/39 season, the then Czechoslovak Football Association managed to organize a national cup competition for the first time. The first round was played, but the Munich Agreement meant that the competition was not played. A Czechoslovak cup competition was not organized until 1951. However, only lower-class teams took part in these, but not first division clubs. From the quarterfinals he served as a qualification for the 1st division. A trophy was also played in 1952, which had other peculiarities: Only one club from the branch of industry according to which the clubs were organized at the time was allowed to participate in the final round . In the final rounds, the teams were reinforced with other players from other teams in the same branch of industry. Both the 1951 and 1952 competitions are therefore not official.
mode
In 1960/61 the competition was divided into a Czech and a Slovak part, without these being separate cup competitions. The two winners met in a final. From 1961/62 to 1968/69 the cup was held nationwide in a competition. Simple knockout rounds were played up to the final, the final took place in a return game. This was not the case in 1964 and 1965, when the final was only played in one game. From 1969/70 the Czechoslovak Cup consisted only of the clash between the Czech Cup winners and the Slovak Cup winners . This took place in two-legged matches until 1976, and since 1977 the winner has been determined in a single match. From 1977 to 1984 this took place alternately in the capitals Prague and Bratislava , from 1985 to 1993 in smaller cities and stadiums in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Cup surprises
The biggest sensation occurred in the last game year 1992/93. The then second division 1. FC Košice beat the newly crowned Czechoslovak champions Sparta Prague 5-1. In 1968/69 the then second division VCHZ Pardubice reached the final, where he was defeated by 1: 1 and 0: 1 to Dukla Prague . This was also the only year in which two Czech clubs faced each other in the final. VCHZ Pardubice even got relegated to the 3rd division a year later. 1991/92 was the then second division Spartak Trnava in the final, but was clearly defeated Baník Ostrava .
