Coupe de France 1999/2000

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1999/2000 season was the 83rd playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This season 6,096 clubs from France and its overseas departments and territories took part.

After completing the qualifying rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the FFF regional association , the 18 top division clubs also intervened in the thirty-second finals . From this round onwards, the competition was held in the classic cup mode; This means in particular that the respective fixtures are drawn without seed lists or a performance or regional pre-sorting of the clubs from all clubs still in competition and only one game is played, at the end of which a winner has to be determined (be it through overtime and penalty shoot-outs ), who then qualifies for the next round, while the loser is eliminated. Home rights were also determined by lot for each match, but with the restriction that clubs that had to compete against an eleven playing at least two leagues higher were automatically given home rights.

Cup winner was the defending champion FC Nantes . For the so-called "Canaris" because of their club colors, it was the third success in the eighth final. The reporting, however, was dominated by an outsider's march through to the final: the amateurs of the Calais Racing Union Football Club from the fourth-class CFA league were close to the big surprise. On the way there, Calais eliminated two first division ( Strasbourg , Bordeaux ) and two second division teams ( Lille , Cannes ). On the other hand, the success of the fourth-rate Guard Saint-Ivy Pontivy (reaching the round of 16) and the fact that Olympique Nîmes had also made it into the top eight teams as a second division player largely faded . Because a club that only plays in the fourth highest class had never before reached the final in the Coupe de France.
