Coupe de France 1924/25

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1924/25 season was the eighth play of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 326 clubs registered.

The defending champion was Olympique Marseille , who this time did not make it through the quarter-finals. The winner of the trophy was the Club Athlétique des Sports Généraux Paris , until shortly after the World War it was still the company sports club of the major bank Société Générale . This was the second cup victory of the "banquiers" after 1919 in their second participation in the finals. For opponents FC Rouen it was the first appearance on the most important stage of French football  - the most important because there was no uniform national championship before 1932 and the winners of the Coupe de France of those years were often called Champions de France by contemporaries were designated. Neither Rouen nor CASG reached  another cup final after this event - at least until 2010 .

After the qualifying rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the fixtures up to and including the sixteenth-finals were determined by the Cup Commission, whereby questions of travel distances in large-scale France played a role as well as the quality of the venues and the infrastructure at the respective locations. The home right or, in individual cases, a venue between the two opponents was also determined. From the round of 16, the pairings were drawn freely, and the games took place in a neutral place. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, replay games were played until a winner was determined.

Special occurrences

For referee Slawick this was his second and third final after 1921 . From the team that won the trophy for CASG in 1919 , not a single player was in the two finals of that year.

It was the first, but not the last, time that a final had to be repeated. Until the introduction of a penalty shoot-out to determine winners ( originally only provided as an exception in 1982 because of the World Cup finals ), this should be necessary in a total of four further finals, namely 1943 , 1959 , 1963 and 1965 . After 1982 there were five finals ( 1988 , 1997 , 2001 , 2007 and 2019 ) in which a penalty shoot-out was required. (Status: up to and including the 2018/19 season )

Remarks

  1. ↑ L'Équipe, Ejnès, pp. 332/333.
  2. ↑ However, the statistics in France only evaluate the two games hosted in the same year as an estimate, because the FFF generally nominated the same referee for repeat games as in the first game - cf. L'Équipe / Ejnès, p. 313.
