Coupe de France 1942/43

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1942/43 season was the 26th draw of the French football cup for men's teams; During the war and occupation years, the latter again bore its initial name Coupe Charles Simon . This year 664 clubs registered.

Defending champion was Red Star Olympique , who was eliminated in the semifinals of the occupied zone that year. The winner of the trophy was Olympique de Marseille . This was his sixth cup win in the eighth final. The last victory came in 1938 , the last lost final was only three years ago . With this success, Olympique took the lead again, ahead of Red Star (five coupes), on the list of the most successful clubs in this competition. Final opponent Girondins AS du Port de Bordeaux was in the final for the second time after the Southwest French won the Coupe in 1941 .

The event was strongly influenced by the political circumstances of the time. Since the German invasion (1940) , the occupation of the entire north and west as well as the formation of a formally independent “free France” (also known as Vichy France) in the south-east of the country, France was practically divided into three or even four parts, if at all if one includes the areas annexed by Germany in Alsace and Lorraine , whose clubs played in the German league system . The extreme north and northeast was directly under the German military administration in Brussels and was subject to special restrictions ( zone interdite , the "forbidden zone"); between this and the zone occupée and the zone non occupée (“occupied” or “unoccupied zone”, in 1942/43 also known as the north or south zone) regulated sports traffic was only possible to a very limited extent. This was also reflected in the way the trophy was held: each of the three zones initially determined its own winner; then the two winners of the occupied territories played their joint winner in an "interzone final", which then played the actual final against the one from "free France".

The FFF football association was able to extend the regular playing time, which was limited to 80 minutes by order of the Vichy government , to 90 minutes. To this end, the responsible high sports commissioner of the government, Colonel Joseph Pascot , had issued two new instructions: firstly, the professional clubs had to use at least four amateurs in every match, and secondly, professional footballers had to prove an additional activity in a "civil profession" in order to continue to have a gaming license to obtain. Behind the measures stood the intention already pursued by Pascot's predecessor Jean Borotra to make professional sport unattractive so that it could eventually be abolished.

After the qualifying rounds organized at regional level, the pairings for each round within the respective zone were drawn from the round of 16. From the quarter-finals onwards, the games usually took place in a neutral place. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, replay games were played until a winner was determined.

Special occurrences

After the one in 1925 , this was only the second state final that had to be repeated. The 4-0 win in the second final was the clearest final result in previous Cups. Before that, there had been five victories with a three-goal difference: in 1918 , 1927 , 1931 and 1935 the finals each ended with 3: 0, in 1926 with 4: 1.

Marseille's Emmanuel Aznar was known as “the man who tears up goal nets” because of his particularly hard shot, which he actually managed in the second cup final of 1943. Another dreaded striker, Stefan "Stanis" Dembicki , scored 16 goals in the round of 32 in the 32-0 win of his Racing Club Lens against the amateurs from Auby-Asturies.
