[2] 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.
Arbejdernes I&BK filed a protest to the Funen FA proclaiming that the match referee unjustifiably sent off an AIB player.
[23][24][25] The Odense BK squad was mostly composed of new players, including a new goalkeeper, and this final was regarded as their first most important match so far.
[25] The first goal was netted in the 20th minute by Odense BK right innerwing Børge Jensen after a pass from the left side outside the reach of B 1913's goalkeeper Olaf "Laffe" Petersen, while the equalizing goal by B 1913's Henry "Lodvig" Ludvigsen was scored fifteen minutes later following a pass from Martin "Malle" Petersen, and the first half ending in an 1–1 tie.
[25] In the 75th minute, B 1913's forward Albert Fischer passed the ball to Ludvigsen, who scored his second goal, which the newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende and Fyns Social-Demokrat reported should have been ruled as offside.
[25][24] The match ended with the score 3–1 to B 1913 in front of an attendance of 550 spectators, securing the Odense-based club their second consecutive cup title in two final entries.
