Coupe de France 1992/93

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1992/93 season was the 76th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. The number of participants continued to rise sharply; This year, 6,523 clubs registered, including some from overseas French possessions .

There was no defending champion due to the " Drama of Furiani " and the resulting termination of the competition in the previous season . This time the trophy was won by Paris Saint-Germain FC , which made it their third success in their fourth appearance in the final. The last success was ten years ago and was against the same final opponent as this season - FC Nantes  . Nantes was even in its sixth final, of which it was only able to win the 1979 one .

Lower-class teams presented themselves in this competition once again with great assertiveness. Two amateur teams, the two third division clubs FC Pau and SO Châtellerault , made it to the round of 16. In this round four teams from the professional Division 2 were also represented, of which Stade Laval even advanced to the semi-finals, where he lost to the eventual winner of the cup.

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 and home rights were drawn freely for each round; only in the thirty-second finals were those clubs automatically allowed to play their game in front of their own audience that competed against an opponent playing at least two classes higher. If the score was tied after extra time, there was a penalty shoot-out. From this season onwards, this was also the rule for the final, which has traditionally been held in a stadium in the greater Paris area since the first edition of the Coupe de France - although this had already been done twice before ( 1982 and 1988 ), but at that time only as an exception.

Special occurrences

Two records were reported in this event: firstly, the three evictions for a final team that met FC Nantes. He lost Karembeu (46th, who protested violently against the penalty, imposed the referee Harrel), Vulić (68th), Lima (82nd) ​​and ultimately the game.

On the other hand, no club had managed to survive the six national rounds without conceding a single goal before PSG; previous defensive record holders were three clubs that had to accept only one opposing goal on the way to the Cup victory, namely Olympique Marseille ( 1927 ), FC Sète ( 1934 ) and AS Saint-Étienne ( 1962 ).

At Paris Saint-Germain there was not a single player from the last finals in 1985 .
