Coupe de France About
Coupe de France is France’s national knockout cup competition, organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and open to every level of the French football pyramid. Founded in 1917, it is the country’s principal men’s cup competition and remains true to its original open to all principle. At its heart is a simple idea: every affiliated club, from the smallest village side to a Ligue 1 champion, has the same route to the final.
A national idea with a global footprint
The competition was created during the First World War, with Henri Delaunay among its key figures, to unite French football through a single knockout tournament. It was deliberately designed as an all-in competition, and that founding principle still defines its character. Unlike domestic cups that restrict entry to the professional leagues, the Coupe de France admits amateur and professional clubs alike. Because France includes overseas departments and territories, clubs from Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia and Réunion also take part, giving the competition a genuinely international reach. In recent years, more than 7,000 clubs have typically entered, with participation sometimes rising above 8,500.
How clubs enter and how the draw is made
Entry is staggered by level. The earliest rounds are organised regionally and are reserved for amateur clubs, reducing travel for small sides. National 3 clubs join in Round 3, National 2 in Round 4, National in Round 5 and Ligue 2 in Round 7. Ligue 1 sides enter in the Round of 64, which is the ninth round. The draw is random, but early rounds use regional pots to limit journeys. One famous rule protects the little clubs: if a team is drawn against an opponent at least two divisions higher, the lower-tier side automatically hosts the tie. That, plus a single-match format, makes the Coupe de France a natural home for giant-killings and gives amateur clubs a realistic chance of a national stage.
Format, match rules and calendar
The Coupe de France is a pure knockout competition across 14 rounds. Every tie is a single leg; there are no replays and no second-leg safety nets. Since 2020, most rounds have gone straight to a penalty shootout when the score is level after 90 minutes, with extra time reserved for the later stages and the final. The tournament also has its own squad convention: match-day squads are limited to shirt numbers 1 to 18, with the starting eleven wearing numbers by position rather than their usual club numbers.
The calendar follows the French season. The first regional and overseas preliminary rounds are played in late summer, with the national phase building through the autumn and winter. The final is staged in May, traditionally at the Stade de France.
Stakes, rewards and traditions
The winner lifts the historic Coupe Charles Simon trophy, traditionally presented by the President of France at the final. Victory also carries tangible rewards: the champion qualifies directly for the UEFA Europa League and takes part in the following season’s Trophée des Champions against the Ligue 1 champions. For amateur sides, a long run offers financial bonuses, national exposure and the enduring status of Petits Poucets — the “little thumbs” of French football who defy the odds. It is that combination of democratic access, dramatic upsets and genuine silverware that makes the Coupe de France unlike any other cup in European football.
