Coupe de France 1959/60

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1959/60 season was the 43rd draw of the French football cup for men's teams. This year, 1,187 clubs registered, including some from French-dominated Algeria . One of them reached the main round with the AGS Mascara.

The defending champion was Le Havre AC , who made it to the semi-finals again this year. AS Monaco won the trophy . This was their first ever finals, which also applied to Monaco's final opponent AS Saint-Étienne . Some lower-class teams also drew attention to themselves. There were three second division partners among the last eight teams, namely AS Cannes , FC Sète and OSC Lille . Of the amateur clubs in particular the AS Gardanne impressed from one of the many regional groups of the sixth division: in the Round of them defeated the Toulouse FC , who this season in the championship on the fifth place of the top division completed. In the round of 16, the five-time cup winners OSC Lille put an end to the outsider's hopes, but only with a narrow victory.

After the qualifying rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the 20 top division teams also intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams. For the thirty-second finals there was a regional and performance-based pre-sorting of the participants, which was also intended to limit the possibility that clubs in Division 1 could meet at this point; from the sixteenth finals the pairings were drawn freely. All the games took place in a neutral place, two of them in Oran , Algeria ; the income was shared. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, replay games were played until a winner was determined. In total, only two of these were necessary in this competition.
