Coupe de France 1961/62

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1961/62 season was the 45th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 1,226 clubs registered.

The defending champion was the UA Sedan-Torcy , which failed in the round of 16 this season. The winner of the trophy was the Association Sportive de Saint-Étienne . This was her first cup win in the second final within 24 months . Final opponent FC Nancy was also in its second final after 1953 ; it was not enough to win the cup this time either, and, even more, three years later the club was dissolved for financial reasons.

The lower-class teams could hardly benefit from the weakness of the cup of the strongest first division teams , three of which ( Stade Reims , Racing Paris and Olympique Nîmes ) delivered a “heart-stopping final ” in the championship . Already in the quarter-finals, Olympique Marseille and AS Béziers were eliminated from the last two second division partners ; a lap earlier, the last remaining amateur club in the competition, the Étoile Sportive Aiglons from Brive-la-Gaillarde , caught it.

After the regionally organized qualification rounds, the 20 first division teams intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams. The participants in the thirty-second final were regionally pre-sorted and drawn together by the Cup Commission of the FFF regional association based on a rough geographic quarter; From the sixteenth finals, the cup pairings were drawn freely. Games generally 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.

Special occurrences

L'Équipe wrote in March 1962 "The cup has developed into a consolation round" because three of the four semi-finalists in Division 1 fought relegation - which then actually overtook two of them, including the competition winner. Saint-Étienne had set the corresponding Olympique Marseille record from the 1926/27 season with just one goal in six cup rounds .
