Coupe de France 1928/29

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1928/29 season was the twelfth playout of the French football cup for men's teams.

Cup winners from SO Montpellier

380 clubs registered for this event. Defending champions Red Star Paris were excluded from the competition after their game in the first national round because the club had used their Uruguayan defender Orestes Diaz despite not being eligible to play. Sports Olympiques Montpelliérains won this year's cup . It was the first time that SO Montpellier won the trophy; In a purely southern French final, he defeated FC Sète , which had reached a final for the third time after 1923 and 1924 - and lost it for the third time.

A cup commission set all 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 established. From the round of 16, the pairings were drawn freely, the games took place in a neutral place from the round of 16. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, one or more replay matches were played. However, there were exceptions to the home law regulation, the reasons for which cannot currently be determined.

Special occurrences

While Yugoslav "student footballers", for whom Languedoc had been an important migration destination since the early 1920s , played on both sides (Sekulić, Bek), Montpellier relied on a " Swiss block formation" - the three Kramer brothers had a few years earlier played for Sète -; Sète, on the other hand, trusted three Englishmen : Skiller, Barrett and Harrison . There was no professionalism in French football until 1932; the proponents of the pure amateur idea were still in the majority in the regional association . It was an open secret that in many clubs players were paid "under the hand" - in France then as now as "amateurisme marron" ("tricky amateurism") - was practiced (for more on this topic see here ).

For Edmond Gérardin it was the third final under his direction after 1920 and 1922 . This mark was only discontinued in 1945 by another referee ( Georges Capdeville ) and was even outbid until 55 years later (by Michel Vautrot ).
