The 1933–34 Swiss Cup was the 9th edition of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since the 1925–26 season by the Swiss Football Association.

Overview

[edit]

This season's cup competition began with two preliminary rounds, before the main competition began. These two rounds were played during the last two week-ends of August 1933. The first principal round was played at the beginning of October. The competition was to be completed on Easter Monday 2 April 1934, with the final, which this year was held at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern.

The preliminary rounds were held for the lower league teams that were not qualified for the main rounds. Reserve teams were not admitted to the competition. The 16 clubs from the 1933–34 Nationalliga and the 18 clubs from this season's 1. Liga joined the competition in the first principal round, which was played on Sunday 1 October.

The matches were played in a knockout format. In the preliminary rounds, in the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, if agreed between the clubs, a second extra time was played. If the score was still level at the final whistle, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round. Replays were not foreseen until the main competition and these ware played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, or if a replay had not been agreed, again a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round.[1]

Preliminary rounds

[edit]

The lower league teams that had not qualified for the competition competed here in two preliminary knockout rounds. Reserve teams were not admitted to the competition. The aim of this preliminary stage was to reduce the number of lower league teams to 30 before the first main round, to join the 34 clubs from the top two tiers. The draw in the preliminary stage and in the early rounds of the main competition respected local regionalities. Both preliminary rounds were played during August in advance of the lower leagues regional season.
