Coupe de France 1929/30

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1929/30 season was the 13th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. The number of registrations exceeded the 400 mark for the first time (408 clubs to be precise).

The defending champion was Sports Olympiques Montpelliérains , who failed this year in the quarterfinals at last year's final opponent and later winner of this trophy, the Football Club de Sète . For Sète, this was the first cup victory in the fourth finals since 1923 . His final opponent Racing Club de France from Paris had made it into a final for the Coupe de France for the first time.

After the qualifying rounds organized at the regional level, the cup commission of the national association FFF set all matches 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. The home law was also established for the thirty-second finals; From the sixteenth finals onwards, the games took place in a neutral place. From the round of 16, the pairings were drawn freely. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, one or more replay matches were played.

Special occurrences

After Racings goalkeeper Tassin was injured, striker Ozenne had to stand between the posts for him from the 73rd minute of the game; shortly afterwards his team even took the lead, but this time Sète was able to turn the game around. For the first time a final was directed by a referee who was not from Paris; In 1933 Monsieur Conrié was supposed to whistle a second final.

One of the favorites of this year's competition, the AC Amiens , was eliminated only after a replay in the semi-finals. The club from Picardy had meanwhile strengthened itself with four national players ( Célestin Delmer , Ernest Libérati , Paul Nicolas and Urbain Wallet ) - it was the time of "not so pure amateurism" ("l'amateurisme marron"), but legalized did professionalism in France only in 1932. Delmer and Liberati belonged, as well as five players from the Racing Club de France, to France's squad , which soon after went on a voyage to the first World Cup in Uruguay .
