Challenge de France féminin 2002/03

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Challenge de France féminin in the 2002/03 season was the second draw of the French football cup for women's teams . Participation was only compulsory for women in the first and second leagues.

Defending champion was Toulouse FC , which this time eliminated in the quarter-finals. The new title holders were the women of FC Lyon , who had made it to the final last year. For Lyons this year's final opponent HSC Montpellier it was the first participation in the final.

The competition was held in the classic cup mode; This means in particular that the respective fixtures were drawn without seed lists or a performance or regional pre-sorting of the clubs from all clubs still in the competition and only one game was played at the end of which a winner had to be determined (even if it was a penalty shoot-out - an extension in the event of a tie after 90 minutes was not provided), which then qualified for the next round, while the loser was eliminated. Home rights were also determined for each match by drawing lots - with the exception of the final, which took place in a neutral place at different locations every year - but with the restriction that clubs that have to compete against an eleven playing at least two league levels higher automatically have home rights got.

After completing the qualifying rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the FFF regional association , eleven of the twelve first division teams also intervened in the round of 32 - the only exception was the CNFE Clairefontaine , to which the FFF allowed participation in the national championship, but not in the cup competition. The background for this ambivalent attitude was also the pressure from several second-class clubs, for which this team had already blocked a place in the league.
