France Cup 1998/99

[none]: D1: Division 1.
D2:   Division 2.
N:    National(Division 3).
CFA:  Championnat de France Amateur(Division 4).
CFA2: Championnat de France Amateur 2(Division 5).

D:    Promotion de District or de Premier Division de District or Premier
      Division de District(Division 9 i.e. first District Division).
      [or even the lower District Division].

NB: CFA2 teams entered third round, CFA teams fourth round and National teams 
    fifth round.

7th Round
It's the first national round with geographical groups.  
For the preliminary round and the two first rounds, it's a toss by
districts or by proximity if the number of teams is odd.
After, it's a regional toss.
 Now, when there are two divisions between two teams, normally the
lower club plays at home but sometimes the ground isn't homologated.
 The D2 teams enter this round as the Overseas teams that won their
Coupe de France régionale. For these last ones, there is a separate
toss to know which ones will play at home and which teams from D2,
National or CFA that want to go there will play.

Promoted: Louhans-Cuiseaux 71, US Créteil, Gazélec Ajaccio [*].

[*] the French FA have a law stating that a town with fewer than 100,000
    inhabitants (like Ajaccio) may not have more than one professional
    team; since AC Ajaccio already plays second division, this implied
    Ajaccio GFCO could not be promoted; the club went to a civial court
    (Conseil d'Etat) and their complaint was upheld, but they were then
    denied promotion on financial grounds; meaning Valence remain at the 
    2nd level.

Promoted: Louhans-Cuiseaux 71, US Créteil, Gazélec Ajaccio [*].

[*] the French FA have a law stating that a town with fewer than 100,000
    inhabitants (like Ajaccio) may not have more than one professional
    team; since AC Ajaccio already plays second division, this implied
    Ajaccio GFCO could not be promoted; the club went to a civial court
    (Conseil d'Etat) and their complaint was upheld, but they were then
    denied promotion on financial grounds; meaning Valence remain at the 
    2nd level.

[*] the French FA have a law stating that a town with fewer than 100,000
    inhabitants (like Ajaccio) may not have more than one professional
    team; since AC Ajaccio already plays second division, this implied
    Ajaccio GFCO could not be promoted; the club went to a civial court
    (Conseil d'Etat) and their complaint was upheld, but they were then
    denied promotion on financial grounds; meaning Valence remain at the 
    2nd level.

Promoted from CFA: Besançon, Grenoble, Clermont Foot and Evry.
