The 1973 Cupa României final was the 35th final of Romania's most prestigious football cup competition. It was disputed between Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea and Constructorul Galați, and was won by Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea (the only time they won the tournament) after a replay.[1][2]
Both teams played in 4–2–4 formation.
The 1973 match was the third final in the history of the Romanian Cup when the winner was established after a replay; the others were in 1934 and 1940.
This occasion is historic because it was the first, and so far only, final with no club from Divizia A taking part. The match is also known as "Finala desculților" (English: "The final of the poor") because the team from Râmnicu Vâlcea was playing in Divizia B and the team from Galați was playing in Divizia C at the time.[3]
Chimia Râmnicu Vâlcea became the third club representing Divizia B to win the Romanian Cup, after Metalul Reșița in 1954 and Arieșul Turda in 1961.[4][5]
Constructorul Galați became the second club representing Divizia C that reached the final, after Foresta Fălticeni in 1967.[4][5] They become the champions of 1972–73 Divizia C at the end of the season.
