The 1966–67 Swiss Cup was the 42nd season of Switzerland's annual cup competition, organised annually since 1925–26 by the Swiss Football Association.
Overview
[edit]This season's cup competition began on the weekend of 10 and 11 September 1966, with the games of the first round. The competition was to be completed on Whit Monday 15 May 1967 with the final, which was traditionally held at the former Wankdorf Stadium in Bern. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga B (NLB) were given byes for the first two rounds and entered the competition in the third round. The clubs from this season's Nationalliga A (NLA) were granted byes for the first three rounds. These teams joined the competition in the fourth round, which was played on the 6 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 decide the outcome of the encounter. The cup winners qualified themselves for the first round of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next season.
First round
[edit]In the first phase, the first and second rounds, the lower league teams (1. Liga and lower) that had qualified themselves for the competition through their regional football assocciation's regional cup competitions or through their assocciation's requirements, competed here. The draw respected local regionalities. The first principal round was held on the week-end of 10 and 11 September.

Final
[edit]The final was held in the former Wankdorf Stadium on 15 May 1967. The opponents were FC Basel and Lausanne-Sports. The game went down in football history due to the sit-down strike that followed a penalty goal shortly before the end of the match. After 88 minutes of play, with the score at 1–1, referee Karl Göppel awarded Basel a controversial penalty. André Grobéty had pushed Helmut Hauser gently in the back and he had let himself drop theatrically. Hauser scored the decisive penalty. Subsequent to the 2–1 lead for Basel the Lausanne players refused to resume the game and they sat down demonstratively on the pitch. The referee had to abandon the match. Basel were awarded the cup with a 3–0 forfeit.[3]

FCB summary Fussball-Schweiz summary |
Kiefer 41' (o.g.) |
The winners were to be qualified for the 1967–68 Cup Winners' Cup. However, because FCB were the 1966–67 Nationalliga A champions they qualified for the 1967–68 European Cup and so Lausanne-Sports qualified as rummers-up for the Cup Winners' Cup. This was FCB's fourth cup title and their first domestic double.
