Coupe de France 1949/50

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1949/50 season was the 33rd playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 970 clubs registered.

After the qualification rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the first division clubs also intervened in the thirty-second finals . The defending champion was Racing Club Paris , which made it to the final again this year. In this, however, he failed at Stade Reims . It was the first time that Reims had won this trophy after winning the Division 1 championship for the first time in the preseason . The 1950 final was the first since 1944 that OSC Lille did not take part - before that, the northern French had reached five cup finals in a row and finished three of them victorious. The most successful amateur club was the fourth division UA Sedan-Torcy : the "workers' footballers from the Ardennes" were only eliminated in the quarter-finals against the eventual title winners from Reims.

The pairings were drawn freely for each round. Games basically 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. Due to this provision, the players of the RCFC Besançon had to play seven games in four rounds and stood on the pitch for a total of twelve and a half hours instead of the usual six.

Remarks

1. ↑ Sedan's teams of the 1950s were referred to as "footballeurs-ouvriers" because almost all of the players worked in a local cloth factory - L'Équipe / Ejnès, p. 116ff.
