The 1962–63 Swiss Cup was the 38th season of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since 1925–26 by the Swiss Football Association.
Overview
[edit]This season's cup competition began with the games of the first round, played on the week-end of the 8 and 9 September 1962. The competition was completed on Easter Monday 15 April 1963, with the final, which was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from the 1962–63 Swiss 1. Liga were given a bye for the first round, they played in the second round on the week-end of 29 and 30 September. 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 3 and 4 of November.
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. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, a toss of a coin would establish the team qualified for the next round. The cup winners qualified themselves for the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next season.
Round 1
[edit]In the first phase, 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 first round was played on the weekend of 8 and 9 September 1962.
