Coupe de France 1935/36

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1935/36 season was the 19th draw of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 636 clubs registered.

The defending champion was Olympique Marseille , who did not get past the round of 16 this year. This year's trophy was won by the Racing Club de Paris . This was his first cup victory in the second finals after 1930 , and since Racing was also national champion at the end of the season , he was only the second club in French football to win the doublé . Final opponent FC Olympique Charleville had advanced this far for the first time and was the only second division player to survive the round of 16. Of the amateur teams, AS Brest surprised , which initially eliminated two top teams from Division 2 and was only defeated by a first division club in the quarter-finals .

After the qualifying rounds organized at regional level, the 16 first division teams intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams; of the 18 second division clubs only Le Havre AC and AS Villeurbanne were eliminated prematurely. The cup commission of the regional association FFF 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 games were played until a winner was determined.

Games on 15th, repeat matches on 19th and 22nd December 1935. The clubs of the two professional leagues are labeled D1 and D2, the other participants were amateur teams (without specifying which league they belonged to).

Special occurrences

Charleville relied on the specifications of his player-coach Bieber on a massed cover, in which the future goalkeeper Darui and Herrera, later considered the inventor of the catenaccio, were the most important pillars. In the final, too, this concept almost worked out against Paris, which had scored 21 goals in the previous rounds against two top teams in Division 1, among others.

After AS Brest won the last 16 over Racing Roubaix, the FFF investigated the amateur status of the two Englishmen Newton and Pedder and banned them for the Bretons' quarter-final against Red Star. Red Stars President then urged the association to let both play anyway - and the FFF agreed.
