The 1916–17 LFA Interfederal Cup (French: 1916–17 Coupe interfédérale) was a football competition organized by the Ligue de Football Association (LFA) between the champions of each federation that makes up the said committee. It has the particularity of being open to all associations, and the press of the time considers the competition as the "real French war championship". It was won by AS Française, who defeated Stade Rennais 2–1 in the final.
Paris
First round
AS Amicale, USA Clichy, Enghien Sports, CA Boulonnais, CA Vitry, CA XIVe, and US Suisse were exempt from the first round.
The LFA established the schedule for the first round in September 1916. For the first provincial round played on October 15, 1916, the Terreaux Sports Club, the Albert Football Club Vernon, Le Havre AC and the Stade Toulousain are exempt.
Contrary to the Interfederal Cup regulations, which provide extra time during a draw, the Olympique de Marseille - International Football Club de Nice match was replayed. Since International FC de Nice was half an hour late, the Marseille team would not have been able to take the last train to Marseille.
Note: Match replayed. The first match ended in a draw.
Quarter finals
The quarter-finals only concern clubs from the West of France. Olympique de Marseille and Club sportif des Terreaux, representatives of the East of France, meet directly in the semi-finals.
Olympique de Marseille forfeits, due to refusal of permissions in the Marseille squad, despite a request for postponement from the club, rejected by the LFA.
The Interfederal Cup final saw AS Française, winner of the Paris region, face Stade Rennais, winner of the provincial final, at the Stade de la rue Olivier-de-Serres in Paris.
The Stade shows up goal refuses to play, contesting the qualification of five players from CF, which decides a posteriori to withdraw from the competition, giving a win to the Stade.
