South German Cup
The South German Cup was a football competition held from 1918 to 1973 .
history
The competition was held for the first time in 1918 as the cup championship of the South German Football Association . SpVgg Fürth achieved their first cup win with a 2-1 win against Stuttgarter Kickers in front of 5,000 spectators on Union-Platz in Stuttgart.
In 1927 the cup winner qualified for the final round of the German championship. From 1927 to 1931 the cup was played as the so-called Ufa Cup , in which all district league clubs that did not play for the South German championship took part. After a five-year break, the South German Cup was played again in 1932. In the final, the Stuttgarter Kickers beat Amicitia Viernheim 4-0 . VfB Stuttgart's South German Cup victory in the following year was the last one before the Second World War. After the National Socialists came to power, the Tschammer Cup was played from 1935 , the preliminary round of which was held at regional level.
After the Second World War, the South German Cup competition was brought back to life in 1952. It served as an elimination tournament for participation in the DFB Cup . The six participants from the south were determined in the first year in groups with home and return matches. The first in the group was qualified for the DFB Cup. In the following years the cup was played in the knockout round.
In the 1973/74 season the last South German Cup competition took place. After the last qualifying matches on October 13, 1973, the competition was discontinued. Since the introduction of the 2nd Bundesliga for the 1974/75 season , the teams in the first two leagues have qualified directly for the DFB Cup. Since then, the amateur representatives have been played through the association cup competitions.
