Coupe de France 1925/26

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1925/26 season was the ninth play of the French football cup for men's teams.

322 clubs registered for this event; The defending champion was CASG Paris , who dropped out early. The winner of this year's cup was Olympique Marseille , who thus remained victorious in his second final after 1924 for the second time. In it, Olympique defeated AS Valentigney , a club from the small town of Valentigney in the Doubs département that had never been particularly conspicuous at national level , whose players all worked in the Peugeot factory in neighboring Montbéliard - comparable to FC Sochaux, which was founded in 1928 . On his way to the final, “ David ” eliminated a renowned “ Goliath ” with Rouen FC , who had reached the final the year before and the semifinals three times in a row.

As was often the case in the period before the introduction of professionalism (1932), this year there was again a protest against a game rating because the opponent had called up a footballer who, in the opinion of the applicant, was not eligible to play. And again, as in 1920 and 1923 , FC Cette was involved, this time not because of a foreign player: During his previous military service, Jacques Mairesse had illegally played for a club from French North Africa and an Alsatian club and tried to to keep this fact secret. In this case, the national association Fédération Française de Football Association (FFFA) decided against the southern French, canceled their victory and put the quarter-final against Stade Français Paris again.

The Cup Commission set all the matches for the thirty-second and sixteenth-finals, with questions of travel distances in large-scale France playing just as much as the quality of the venues and infrastructure at the respective locations. The home law was also determined. From the round of 16, the pairings were drawn freely, the games took place in a neutral place. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, one or more replay matches were played, first on the opponent's court and then alternating.
