Coupe de France 1948/49

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1948/49 season was the 32nd draw of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 981 clubs registered.

Defending champion was Lille Olympique SC , who reached the final again this year - for the fifth time in a row. In it, however, Lille lost to the Racing Club de Paris . This was already Racing's fifth cup win in the sixth final; up to the present ( 2012 ), however, this was his last win of the trophy.

This season got off to a promising start for lower-class participants: 13 amateur teams and seven second but only twelve first division teams survived the thirty-second finals . But the hierarchy was quickly restored; the last remaining second division team ( Olympique Nîmes ) and the last amateur club were eliminated in the quarter-finals . The latter, the Racing Club from Arras , had made headlines by then; the fifth division eliminated two third -class teams in succession and even a second-class team with the US Valenciennes , before FC Metz proved to be insurmountable for the RCA.

After the qualification rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the 18 top division clubs also intervened in the thirty-second finals. The pairings were drawn freely for each round. All games took place in a neutral place; the income was shared. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, replay games were played until a winner was determined.

The 1. FC Saarbrücken (or FC Sarrebruck ) of this season due to the special role of the Saarland after the Second World War was allowed to play in the French second division - but only out of competition - was not eligible for the cup competition.

Special occurrences

This pairing of the final took place for the third time after 1939 and 1945 - and the winner in the end was always Racing Paris; Therefore, the capital club holds with the sky-blue club colors for the Northern French as "black beast" ( "bête noire") of Lille, which also this time on two of its most important players, Marceau Somerlinck and Boleslaw Tempowski had to do without. It was also the highest-scoring final in the history of the competition to date; later this record was improved twice: in 1952 to eight and 1957 to nine hits, each in 90 minutes.

Only Marcel Salva, Ernest Vaast and trainer Paul Baron had already participated in Racing's last final in 1945.
