The 1950–51 Swiss Cup was the 26th season 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 the first games of the first round, played on the week-end of the 24 September 1950, with two exceptions. The competition was to be completed on Easter Monday, 26 March 1951, with the final, which, since 1937, was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from the 1950–51 Swiss 1. Liga were given a bye for the first round, they joined the competition in the second round on the week-end of 8 October. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) and from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds. These teams joined the competition in the third round, which was played on the week-end of 29 October.

The matches were played in a knockout format. 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, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. In the early rounds, if the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round. However, in the quarter-finals and later, a second replay at a neutral stadium would take place.[1]

Round 1

[edit]

In the first round, the lower league teams that had qualified themselves for the competition through their regional football association's regional cup competitions or their association's requirements, competed here. Whenever possible, the draw respected local regionalities. The games of the first round were played on Saturday 24 September 1950, with two exceptions and these were played one week later.
