Coupe de France 1989/90

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1989/90 season was the 73rd playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year, 5,672 clubs, including those from overseas French possessions , registered, of which JS Saint-Pierre from Réunion also reached the first national round again.

The defending champion was Olympique Marseille , who advanced to the semi-finals again this season. This time, the trophy was won by Montpellier Hérault SC , who was successful for the second time in his third participation in the finals. Montpellier's first success - back then as Sports Olympiques Montpelliérains - was 61 years ago . Final opponent Racing Paris 1 was already in its eighth final, of which it had won five (the last time in 1949 ).

Overall, it was not a successful competition for lower-class teams. Of the amateur teams, only five made it to the sixteenth finals, all of them in the third-highest division - and not a single one of them survived this round. The teams from Division 2, on the other hand, reached the round of 16 in larger numbers, as in previous years, but of these six second division teams only one ( Olympique Avignon ) made it to the last eight teams and failed there because of the eventual cup winners.

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 most important innovation this season was the abolition of home and away games ( introduced in 1968/69 ) and the return to the classic cup mode with decisions in only one game. The pairings were drawn freely for each round and took place in the thirty-second finals on a neutral spot. From the sixteenth to the semi-finals, the home right was also determined by lot; the final has traditionally been held in the greater Paris area since the Coupe de France was first held. If the score was tied after extra time, there was a penalty shoot-out.

Referee Biguets second direction of a final after 1985 was a final of two outsiders, in which the 13th in the final classification of Division 1 on the table-19. and thus met one of the relegated.

The JS Saint-Pierre from Réunion was accompanied by around 700 supporters to Paris for their thirty-second final game; it had Air France two jumbo jets provided. Saint-Pierre's defeat, however, was just as unable to prevent this support as the fact that a 37-year-old former French professional named Roger Milla played for them, who four months later would shine with Cameroon's national team at the World Cup in Italy .
