Note on World War II Cups:
Cups held during WW2 had lesser significance. They were played in three
zones in 1940/41, 1941/42 and 1942/43 : the "forbidden", "occupied" and
"free" zones. Two of them had to play off, the winning team meeting the
winner of the last zone for the final. In 1944, 16 regional teams were
authoritatively created by the the �tat Fran�ais (Vichy) government to
be entered the Federal Championship and the Cup.
Note on 1992: No final was held in 1992 because of the tragedy at Furiani stadium in Bastia, just before the semi-final Sporting Club de Bastia � Olympique de Marseille. A temporary stand collapsed killing 19 and injuring about 2.200. The match obviously did not take place and, due to the shock, it was decided not to play it at all, thus leaving the competition unfinished. The winner of the other semi-final, Association Sportive de Monaco, were designated to play in the Cup Winners' Cup, but no title was awarded.

Organization of the French Cup
Any French club may take part in the French Cup, regardless of its level (division) or its status (amateur or professional). Yet, there seems to be some rules about the size of the playing ground, but they are much less restrictive than in England. Now, more than 6.000 teams thus enter the competition.
Note about the stadiums that from the 1/32 finals onwards they must meet some requirements (luminosity, size of the pitch...), but if the receiving club does not own such a stadium, the match will be played in the nearest fitting one (designated by the organizing committee).
PRINCIPLE OF THE CUP: The French League being globally pyramid-like, the first rounds concern the very bottom divisions and one higher division enters in every following round until the Division 1 clubs enter in 1/32 finals, which correspond to the 9th round. Every round is decided on a single-match basis, with extra-time and penalties shoot-out if required. The games are played on the ground of clubs chosen first by drawing of lots until 6th round. From 7th round to semi-finals, if there is a difference of 2 divisions or more between the two teams, the match is automatically played on the ground of the lower-division club.
