1926 FBUs Pokalturnering


The 1926 FBUs Pokalturnering was the 7th edition of the regional tournament, FBUs Pokalturnering, the highest senior cup competition organised by the Funen FA. The tournament was held in the third quarter of 1926 with B 1913 as the defending cup champions. The season was launched on 8 August 1926 with the preliminary round involving two matches involving Ejby BK versus Dalum BK and Assens G&IK versus AIK Bogense, while Bogense G&IF and Arbejdernes I&BK of Middelfart both received a bye to the next round. A total of eighteen teams from the 1925–26 FBUs A-række, the 1925–26 FBUs B-række and three new member clubs of the regional football association participated in the cup tournament, which embraced seventeen cup matches — the reigning Funen champions Svendborg BK from the top-flight league choose not to participate in this year's edition.
This season's installment was won by B 1913 after defeating Odense BK 3–1 in the final played at OB's field at Munke Mose in Odense on 5 September 1926, which was the club's second cup title in a row in the same number of finals. Odense-based B 1913 secured its berth in the final by defeating the Funen FA's newest member, Særslev BK, including league rivals B 1909 and BK Marienlyst, eventually making the tournament's final a repeat of the 1925 FBUs Pokalturnering final. They outscored their opponents 28–2 on aggregate in the four games played in this year's competition. The cup tournament took place before the start of the 1926–27 league season tournaments.
