Coupe de France 1931/32

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1931/32 season was the 15th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 438 clubs registered. It was the last season before the introduction of professionalism in French football .

The defending champion was the Club Français Paris , which was eliminated early this year. Association Sportive Cannes won the trophy . This was her first cup win in the only final participation to date ( 2020 ). Final opponents Racing Club Roubaix had not previously contested a final either; The northern French should, however , be back on the lawn of the Olympic Stadium the following year .

After the qualifying rounds organized at regional level, the cup commission of the FFF regional association set all matches for the thirty-second and sixteenth-finals, including home rights for the first round. Questions of travel distances in large-scale France played just as important a role as the quality of the venues and infrastructure at the respective locations. From the sixteenth finals onwards, the games took place in a neutral place, from the sixteenth finals onwards the pairings were drawn freely. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, one or more replay matches were played.
