Coupe de France 1936/37
The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1936/37 season was the 20th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 658 clubs registered.
The defending champion was RC Paris , who were eliminated in the quarter-finals against second division US Boulogne . Boulogne was able to eliminate three top division teams before the soaring ended in the semi-finals. There the FC Sochaux-Montbéliard presented too high a hurdle and then crowned its first final appearance against another newcomer to the final, the Racing Club Strasbourg , by winning the trophy. The fact that two teams from the east fought the decisive encounter for the Coupe de France was also a first.
After the qualification rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the 16 first division teams also intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams. 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.
Thirty-second finals
Games on December 20, 1936. The clubs in the three professional leagues are labeled D1, D2 and D3, respectively. All the others were lower class amateur clubs.

Special occurrences
FC Sochaux, founded only nine years before this final, had to wait exactly 70 years before winning the second cup in 2007 , despite the financial support of the car manufacturer Peugeot . Final opponent Strasbourg managed to do this in a much shorter time: after the Alsatians were successful for the first time in 1951 , they got the Coupe again in 1966 .
