Coupe de France 1926/27

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1926/27 season was the tenth playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 346 clubs registered.

The defending champion was Olympique Marseille , who won the cup again - and for the third time since 1924 . Marseille drew level with Red Star Paris . Opponents in the final were again - like AS Valentigney in 1926 - a company team, namely the US Quevilly , whose team of players worked almost entirely at the Lozai shipyard in Petit-Quevilly near Rouen . In the previous year, USQ had already made it to the round of 16, in which they were defeated by this year's final opponent with 0: 4.

The cup commission of the regional association FFF set all matches and home rights for the thirty-second and sixteenth-finals, 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. What was new this year was that only 24 games were played in the thirty-second finals because the eight quarter-finalists of the previous competition were given a bye. This experiment was not subsequently repeated. 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, there was one or more replay matches (in the first two national rounds first on the opponent's place and then alternately, from the round of 16 onwards in a neutral location).

Special occurrences

On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Coupe de France, after the final whistle of the final, French President Gaston Doumergue presented the trophy to the winner's captain for the first time . Since then, this ceremony has always been carried out by the head of state or, in the rare cases in which this is prevented, another high-ranking politician. The final in 1926/27 saw yet another premiere: for the first time, half a dozen ball boys were positioned along the sidelines , dressed in the colors of the tricolor .

On the side of Marseille, three players were involved in all three cup finals won: Jean Boyer, Édouard Crut and Louis Jacquier; for Jean Cabassu (missing in 1926 ), Ernest Clère, Maurice Gallay and Jules Dewaquez ( not yet in 1924 ) it was the second success. Dewaquez, however, already won his third coupe, Boyer even his fourth: they had previously been in a winning team with Olympique Pantin (Dewaquez, 1918 ) and CASG Paris (Boyer, 1919 ).
