Country Cup (DFB)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Country Cup is or was the name of various cup competitions of the DFB for national associations. The first and only competition for the national cup in which contract players were allowed to take part was held in 1949/50 with teams from East and West; The winner was the Bavarian team.

The competition for the amateur national cup was introduced in 1950 and, when it was discontinued in 1996, it was replaced by the national cup for U19 juniors. In the following years, national cups were introduced for other junior classes. These will be held today as viewing tournaments over a weekend in the Duisburg-Wedau sports school. In 2014, a futsal national cup (officially a futsal national selection tournament ) was introduced.

history

The forerunner of the national cup was the Crown Prince Cup, founded in 1908, with regional selection teams. After the abolition of the monarchy in Germany in 1919, this was renamed the Federal Cup. In 1934 this was replaced by the Reichsbund Cup for the teams of the districts or areas. The fighting game cup, which was held every four years from 1922 to 1934, can also be considered a forerunner .

In the 1949/50 season, the DFB organized the regional cup , in which season contract players were eligible to play for the first and last time and the East German regional representatives also took part, but not the Saarland.

From 1950/51 onwards, the competition was held as an “amateur regional cup” by the regional associations of the German Football Association (DFB) between the individual federal states. It is carried out from 1950 to 1964 in a single round and since 1964/65 with a return match; since 1996/97 only for U19 teams, since 2001/02 for U20 teams.

Only in the last decade did the interest of spectators and players noticeably decrease. The reason for this can be found in the frequently changed game mode (age limit) and the setting of the amateur national team in 1979. On the player side, it is still seen as an interesting stage for a future career. Jürgen Bitter formulates this with the sentence, "Among other things, it serves to spot talent."

The various viewing tournaments are currently being held with 21 teams and one visiting team. Since 2005 they have been played according to the Swiss system with four rounds in a league.

Since 1981 there has also been a tournament for U21 women’s national teams. This is played in a group, also according to the four-round Swiss system. A visiting team is also involved here. In 2006 the U-15 national team took part.

Federal Cup

In the 1949/50 season, 22 national national teams (with the exception of Saarland ) from the two future German football associations took part in the cup competition, in which the contract players of the major leagues were also eligible. The selection of the Southwest German Football Association started with three eventual world champions.

Individual evidence

  1. The regional member associations of the DFB (south, west, etc.) were referred to as "regional associations" before and until 1933 ; There were no regional associations in today's sense. The more appropriate designation "regional associations" became common practice after they were re-established in 1948 ff.
