Coupe de France 1966/67

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1966/67 season was the 50th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 1,378 clubs registered.

The defending champion was RC Strasbourg , which only made it to the round of 16 this year. The winner of the trophy was Olympique Lyon . This was his second cup win after 1964 in the third participation in the finals. Final opponent FC Sochaux-Montbéliard was also in a final for the Coupe de France for the third time, the last time in 1959 . Even then, the team from the Doubs department had lost.

Of the second division , the SEC Bastia (eliminated in the quarter-finals only after two replay games against Sochaux) and in particular AS Angoulême attracted attention: in the semi-finals, the team, who had already eliminated two first division clubs with FC Nantes and RC Lens , the eventual competition winner Lyon stood in three 120-minute games. In such a case, the regulations stipulated that the winner should be determined by tossing a coin - and the wrong choice of captain Yvon Goujon , who opted for the reverse of the one-franc coin, is still one of the most frequently cited cup historians in France. In contrast, the amateur teams achieved little and were eliminated in the sixteenth finals at the latest. Among them was a fifth division, albeit with a long cup tradition: FC Sète had even won this competition twice, even if that was more than three decades ago.

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 . The cup pairings were drawn in the thirty-second finals by roughly dividing the country into four parts, then freely drawn for each round and basically took place on a neutral spot; the income was shared. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, replay games were played until a winner was determined - but no more than two; then it was determined by tossing a coin which team progressed.

Special occurrences

This anniversary competition was not only held because of the above. Lospech's of Angoulême especially in public memory, but also because of an incident during the final when Lyons hit Hector Maison in the official gallery of the Prinzenpark, right in the box of President de Gaulle . He grabbed the leather and carried it back to the field with both hands, right into the arms of a player from Sochaux. The photo of the ball being thrown back by the “Général”, to the great laughter of almost everyone sitting around, is one of the most widespread snapshots in the history of the cup.
