Coupe de France 1927/28

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1927/28 season was the eleventh draw of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 336 clubs registered, ten fewer than the record from the previous year.

The team of the losing finalist CA Paris

Defending champion was Olympique Marseille , who was eliminated in the round of 16 this year. Winner of the trophy was the now with the very first winner of de Coupe of France, Olympique de Paris , merged Red Star Olympique . This was Red Star's fourth cup win in as many finals; he last succeeded in this in 1923 . Final opponent Cercle Athlétique de Paris was in his second final after 1920 ; this time CAP left the field as a loser.

In general, the teams from the greater Paris area dominated this season as in the early years of the competition; for the first time since 1921 there were three of them among the last four teams. However, this was only a brief “flare-up” of the former greatness: just a year later there was only one of the last eight teams from Paris (again CAP), and she was eliminated in the quarter-finals. A purely Paris final has not existed since then ( 2019 ).

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. 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).

Thirty-second finals

Games on 3rd, replay matches on December 18, 1927

(a)The extension of the game had to be canceled because night fell; the game was repeated in Saint-Servan's square.

Special occurrences

With his fourth win of the trophy, Red Star was again the sole leader in terms of the number of cup wins. From the victorious side of 1923 , only the attackers Brouzes and Nicolas were there - and the latter moved to AC Amiens after this title, which was also his fourth personally . Paul Nicolas thus set Jean Boyer's record from the previous year ; it was not until 1945 before two other French footballers ( Maurice Dupuis and "Gusti" Jordan ) came up with an equal number, and even until 1955 before Marceau Somerlinck was able to surpass this record.

Referee Balvay presided over a final for the second time after 1926 .
