Coupe de France 1952/53

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1952/53 season was the 36th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 1,036 clubs registered.

The defending champion was OGC Nice , who failed in the quarter-finals this year at the eventual cup winner, Lille Olympique SC . For the LOSC this was the fourth win of the trophy in its seventh participation in the finals; the last success was five years ago . Final opponent FC Nancy was in a final for the first time in the club's history, apart from the fact that some footballers and the club's infrastructure served as the basis for winning the Coupe de France by the Équipe Fédérale Nancy-Lorraine in 1944 .

It wasn't a bad season for lower-class teams. After all, seven second division players reached the eighth and two of them ( AS Troyes-Savinienne and FC Grenoble ) the quarter-finals. Troyes-Savinienne was able to prevail in this round before the team was defeated. The competition for amateur teams was less successful: only the Breton fourth division Stade Pontivy survived the round of the best 32, but was then downright "shot down" by Lille.

After the qualification rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the 18 top division teams also intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams . 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.
