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 État Français (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.
