Coupe de France 1918/19

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1918/19 season was the second draw of the French football cup for men's teams. It began a few weeks before the end of the First World War ; therefore teams from Alsace, which is part of Germany, and parts of Lorraine took part, as did those from the northern and eastern regions particularly affected by the war.

For this event, organized by the Comité Français Interfédéral (CFI), 59 clubs from the associations still existing next to each other registered - the Union des sociétés françaises de sports athlétiques (USFSA), the ecclesiastical Fédération Gymnastique et Sportive des Patronages Français (FGSPF), the Ligue de Football Association (LFA) and the Fédération Cycliste et Athlétique de France (FCAF). The founding of the uniform national association, Fédération Française de Football , did not take place until after the 1918/19 Cup (for more details see here ) . The winner of this year's cup - this year it was still called Coupe Charles Simon , named after a sportsman who had fallen at the front and an association official - was CASG Paris , the company sports club of the major bank Société Générale , which was particularly successful during the war years . CASG defeated the defending champion Olympique Paris in the final - as organized by the "bankers" in the USFSA - who had failed in the semifinals last year.

Five teams received a bye for the first round, the 54 others played a qualifying round. A cup commission set all the encounters in rounds, whereby - not illogically under the war conditions - questions of travel distances in large-scale France played just as much a role as the quality of the venues and infrastructure at the respective locations. The home law was also established. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, a replay was played.

Special occurrences

Olympique Paris (in the previous year named Olympique Pantin) had to do without four Belgian regular players (goalkeeper René Decoux , Van Roey, Lambrechts and Verhoeven) in the final , who had returned to their home country at the end of 1918 - at the end of the war - and were not ready for this encounter to come to Paris again.

The day after this final, the founding meeting of the Fédération Française de Football Association (FFFA, later FFF) took place in Paris .

Remarks

  1. ↑ The CASG was still referred to as "les banquiers" after it had long since changed from a company sports association to a club under French law and erased the reference to the Société Générale by changing its name ( Club Athlétique des Sports Généraux ).
