Coupe de France 2005/06

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 2005/06 season was the 89th playout of the French soccer cup for men's teams. This year, 6,394 clubs registered, including those from the overseas possessions of France , of which, however, no eleven could qualify for the national main round.

2006 final: Choreo of the PSG fan curve ...
... and the answer from the Marseilles side

Defending champion AJ Auxerre this time only made it to the round of 32, where he failed at the eventual winner of the trophy, Paris Saint-Germain FC . These two clubs alternated between 2003 and 2006 as cup winners. For Paris SG this was the seventh Coupe de France in the ninth final. Final opponent Olympique de Marseille was even in his 17th final; With ten victories up to then - the last one was 17 years ago  - the team from Provence is the record cup winner in France until today ( 2009 ).

The lower-class participants made up exactly half of the teams remaining in the competition in the round of 16, namely four second-class teams ( SC Bastia , Stade Brest , FCO Dijon and HSC Montpellier ) and four teams from the two top amateur leagues : three fourth-division teams (AS Lyon-Duchère, AS Vitré and Calais RUFC , who had already been in the cup final in 2000 ) and a fifth division ( SR Colmar ), but no team from the semi-professional third division . Of these eight, however, only two reached the quarter-finals, in which both Montpellier and Calais were then eliminated. Of the amateurs who are even deeper in the league system, only the eight-class JS Longuenesse survived the thirty-second finals, and only because of a decision at the "green table".

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; However, there was a restriction on the privilege of lower-class clubs: only teams that played at least two game levels - not to be confused with league levels - lower than their opponent were automatically given home rights. Occasionally, however, especially amateur teams waived against payment of such right or avoided - as in this playout example Calais against his final conqueror of 2000, the FC Nantes , the Stade Felix-Bollaert from Lens  - against an attractive opponent in a nearby bigger stadium from. If the score was tied after extra time, there was a penalty shoot-out.

Thirty-second finals

Games on January 6th to 8th, 2006. The clubs of the two professional leagues are designated with L1 and L2, those of the semi-professional third division with D3; the national amateur leagues operate as CFA and CFA2, the regional amateur leagues as DH, DSR and PH ("Division d'Honneur", "Division Supérieure Régionale" or "Promotion d'Honneur", the sixth to eighth highest division).

(a) Caen's victory was subsequently withdrawn by the FFF because the team started with too few "qualified players" - that is to say, too many amateurs and youngsters had fielded.

(b) The game was abandoned due to fog and repeated.

Special occurrences

The final was played in front of a new record crowd, albeit just barely. For referee Laurent Duhamel it was the second leadership of a final after 2001 . There were only four players left in the victorious PSG team who had already won the trophy in 2004 , namely Letizi, Mendy, M'Bami and Pauleta; two other winners from back then, Déhu and Cana, wore the jersey of the final loser from Marseille this year. Kalou also celebrated its second coupe; he was in the previous year, even in the ranks of the victorious AJ Auxerre and had there already scored a goal in the final.
After the game, Marseille goalkeeper Barthez refused to accept the medal for the runner-up from Sports Minister Jean-François Lamour .

The  tight schedule with four cup rounds within five weeks in the decisive competition phase - parallel to the "final spurt" in the championship - was due to the preparation of the national team for the World Cup finals in Germany .
