The 1952–53 Swiss Cup was the 28th season of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since 1925–26 by the Swiss Football Association.
Overview
This season's cup competition began with the first game of the first round, played on Saturday 7 September 1952. The other games were played on the week-end of 14 September. The competition was to be completed on Ascension Thursday, 14 May 1953, with the final, which, since 1937, was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from the 1952–53 Swiss 1. Liga were given a bye for the first round, they joined the competition in the second round on the week-end of 5 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 26 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. 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.[1]
Round 1
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 first round was played on Saturday 14 September 1952, with two exceptions.
