Coupe de France 1974/75

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1974/75 season was the 58th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year, 1,940 clubs registered, including those from overseas French possessions , one of which, Gold Star from Martinique , was able to qualify for the first national round for the first time in cup history.

The defending champion was the Association Sportive de Saint-Étienne , which won the cup again. This was the fifth cup win for ASSE in the sixth final. Final opponent Racing Club de Lens played its second final after 1948 and lost it again. The mode with home and away legs left lower-class teams little chance; From the quarter-finals on, the first division players were among themselves. Up to the round of 16 - but not further either - five second division leaders had made it ; the best amateur representatives were the third division clubs CO Le Puy, AS Libourne and FC Saint-Louis , who were eliminated in the round of 32.

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 pairings were drawn freely for each round and took place in the thirty-second and semi-finals in a neutral place; if the score was tied after extra time there was a replay. From the sixteenth to the quarter-finals, home and return games were played. If both teams had scored the same number of goals (without the away goals counting twice), the second leg was first extended and then - if necessary - a penalty shoot-out was carried out.

In that season, Hervé Revelli was also in the final for the Verts - and referee Robert Héliès was in charge of the final, as he did this season.
