Coupe de France 1933/34

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1933/34 season was the 17th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. In that year, with the second division , a professional base was created for the top division , which was introduced in 1932 but reduced to 14 players in 1933 .

540 clubs registered for this competition. The defending champion was Excelsior AC Roubaix , who was eliminated in the round of 16 this year. The trophy was won - for the second time since 1930  - by FC Sète . Since Sète was also French champions that season , the team from Languedoc was the first in the history of French football to win the doublé . His final opponent Olympique Marseille was in the final for the fourth time after 1924 , 1926 and 1927 , but had to leave the stadium as a loser for the first time. As the most successful amateur club, the Racing Club Arras reached the round of the best 16 teams.

The second division, as well as some of the first division clubs that were eliminated early in the previous year, had to qualify before the last 64 teams; Olympique Marseille, for example, already had three rounds behind them, but with a real shooting match (10-0 against Le Vigan, 19-0 against Stade Raphaëlois and 8-0 against FC Cogolin) without any problems. From the second division side, AS Monaco , FC Lyon and RC Calais failed prematurely.
A cup commission set all matches for the thirty-second and sixteenth-finals; First division clubs could not meet in the first round. The home law was also established for the thirty-second finals; from the sixteenth finals on, the games took place on a neutral pitch. 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

The over 40,000 spectators at the final set a new record; the previous one was set up in the previous year and attracted around 38,000 paying visitors.

In the cup competition, the new second division proved to be quite strong: in the quarter-finals there were four teams from each of the two professional leagues. And Racing Roubaix, in the previous year still an amateur eleven, even reached the semi-finals for the third time in a row; there, however, the team failed - unlike in 1932 and 1933  - this time. In contrast, as for the first time last year, not a single one of the numerous capital city clubs made it into the round of the top eight teams.
