1938–39 Swiss Cup

Swiss Cup 1938–39 Switzerland Lausanne-Sport Nordstern 1937–38 1939–40 The 1938–39 Swiss Cup was the 14th edition of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since the 1925–26 season by the Swiss Football Association. Overview This season's cup competition began with a preliminary round which was played during the last two week-ends of August 1938. The first round was played at the beginning of September, in advance of the league season. The competition was to be completed on Easter Monday, 10 April 1939, with the final, which since a few years, was held in the country's capital in Bern, at the former Wankdorf Stadium. The preliminary round was held for the lower league teams that had not qualified themselves for the competition. These were 20 teams from the 2. Liga (third tier). The lower league teams that had qualified via their regional football association's own cup competitions, or had achieved their association's requirements, joined the competition in the first round. The clubs from this season's 1. Liga were given a bye for the first round and started in the second round. The clubs from the 1938–39 Nationalliga were given byes for the first three rounds. These teams joined the competition in the fourth round which was played, with one exception on the second Sunday of the New Year. 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, if agreed between the clubs, a replay was foreseen and this was 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, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round.
