Coupe de France 1983/84

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1983/84 season was the 67th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year, 3,705 clubs registered - again an increase of over 400 participants - including some from overseas French possessions .

The defending champion was Paris Saint-Germain , who was eliminated in the first national round this year. The winner of the trophy was the Football Club de Metz . This was his first cup win in the second final after 1938 . Final opponent AS Monaco was in a final for the fifth time; when they last participated in 1980 , the Monegasque had left the field as winners.

For lower-class teams this event developed very promisingly at the beginning. Of the amateur teams, four third division teams survived the thirty-second finals as well as a fourth-class team with AS Sarreguemines and a fifth-class team with CA Castets-en-Dorthe. In the following round, however, none of them prevailed. Five of the 16 teams in the second round came from the second division , of which AS Cannes and FC Mulhouse even made it to the quarter-finals. Although both had already thrown two first division teams out of the race by then - Cannes SEC Bastia and FC Sochaux , Mulhouse Paris Saint-Germain and Girondins Bordeaux  - their path to success ended there.

After the qualification rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the 20 members of Division 1 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 finals on a neutral spot; if the score was tied after extra time there was a penalty shootout. From the sixteenth to the semifinals, home and return games were played. If both teams scored the same number of goals (with away goals counting twice), the second leg was first extended and then - if necessary - a penalty shoot-out was carried out.

Thirty-second finals

Special occurrences

Referee Vautrot was in charge of his fourth Coupe de France final since 1979 , and another appearance was to follow in 1987 . To date ( 2009 ) no other referee has been considered by the FFF as often as the man from Franche-Comté .

For five other finalists, the season lasted a month and a half longer because they were part of the French squad for the European Championship in their own country . All five (Le Roux, Amoros, Genghini, Bellone and Bravo) came from AS Monaco, were also used in the European Championship finals and at the end were able to console themselves with the title of European Champion for the lost Coupe de France.
