2020–21 Coupe de France
The 2020–21 Coupe de France was the 104th season of the main football cup competition of France. The competition was organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and is normally open to all clubs in French football, as well as clubs from the overseas departments and territories (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Tahiti, Réunion, Saint Martin, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon). Due to the travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club from Saint Pierre and Miquelon did not progress beyond the second round[note 1] and qualifying clubs from New Caledonia and Tahiti did not participate.

The competition was paused on 28 October 2020, when France entered a second period of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 17 December, the FFF announced a new format to allow the competition to complete. On 22 December, the FFF announced a plan to resume the competition from 31 January 2021.
On 19 January 2021, the FFF produced a new calendar for the amateur path and the final stages.[2]
Paris Saint-Germain were the defending champions, and they won a record fourteenth title with a 2–0 win over Monaco in the final.[3]
Dates edit
Dates for the first two qualifying round were set by the individual Regional leagues. The original calendar had the remaining qualifying rounds, the seventh and eight round, and the round of 64 taking place on weekends. The later rounds up to, but not including, the final, would take place on midweek evenings. The final would take place on Saturday 24 April 2021.[4]
On 28 October 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a second COVID-19 lockdown, including the suspension of all amateur football, for four weeks.[5] The following day, the FFF confirmed the suspension of senior football at all levels below Championnat National. This caused the suspension of the competition, and the postponement of the sixth round and remaining fifth round matches.[6] On 17 November, the FFF formally announced the postponement of the seventh and eighth rounds until January 2021.[7]
On 22 December, the FFF announced a plan to resume the competition on 31 January 2021, subject to COVID-19 restrictions being removed as planned.[8]
On 19 January 2021, the ministère des sports gave the go-ahead for amateur clubs involved in the competition to resume training, and the FFF produced a new calendar for the amateur path and the final stages.[9]

Notable rule changes edit
Following the changes introduced regarding Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Martinique last year,[10] teams from Réunion and Mayotte also played an internal match in the seventh round. This meant an additional team qualifying for the seventh round from Mayotte.[11]
Ligue 2 sides joined the competition at the eighth round, a change which the FFF stated was only for this season's competition.[11] This meant fewer teams would qualify from each region's preliminary rounds.[11]
Other than the final, there was no extra time in fixtures this season. Tied matches were settled by a penalty shoot-out after ninety minutes.[12]
On 22 October 2020, the FFF announced that clubs from New Caledonia and Tahiti would not participate in the seventh round due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Two clubs were awarded byes to the eighth round. A decision was to follow on 12 November regarding other overseas teams participating in the eighth round.[13]
On 25 November, the FFF announced that the seventh round winners from Réunion, Guadeloupe, Mayotte and French Guiana would play their eighth round matches against each other in December, rather than being integrated into the main eighth round draw when the competition restarts. The competition in Martinique would restart at the seventh round when the mainland tournament restarts.[14]
On 17 December, the FFF announced a change of format to avoid cancelling the competition due to a lack of available dates. The competition would be divided into two parts: A professional path, involving teams from Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, and an amateur path, involving mainland teams qualifying from the preliminary rounds and the overseas qualifiers. The amateur path was straight knockout over two rounds (seventh, eighth), taking 124 qualifiers down to 31. The three overseas qualifiers re-joined the competition for the round of 64, resulting in seventeen qualifiers at the end of the path. The professional path started at the eighth round with the twenty Ligue 2 teams. The winners were then joined by the twenty Ligue 1 teams for the round of 64, resulting in fifteen qualifiers at the end of the path. The two paths joined for the Round of 32, and the rest of the competition was straight knockout.[15][16]
Teams edit
Round 1 to 6 edit
The first six rounds, and any preliminaries required, were organised by the Regional Leagues and the Overseas Territories, who allowed teams from within their league structure to enter at any point up to the third round. Teams from Championnat National 3 entered at the third round, those from Championnat National 2 entered at the fourth round and those from Championnat National entered at the fifth round.[17]
The number of teams entering at each qualifying round was as follows:

- Playoff ties between teams from the overseas leagues of Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Mayotte took place between 21 and 29 November.
- The playoff tie between teams from Martinique took place on 13 January 2021.[19]
- The matches involving the 124 qualifying teams from mainland France took place entirely within the regional leagues, except for those leagues providing an odd number of qualifiers, where inter-league matches were drawn. This resulted in ties between Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, Normandy and Pays de la Loire, and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Paris-Île-de-France.[20] The pre-draw was published on 22 January.[21] Matches took place on 5, 6 and 7 February 2021, with three postponed to 13 and 14 February, awaiting outcomes of ties in the previous round.

Eighth round edit
The eighth round was separated into two paths. The professional path took place between the twenty teams from Ligue 2. The amateur path took place between the 62 mainland qualifiers from the seventh round. The ties involving teams from Mayotte, Guadeloupe, Réunion and French Guiana were pre-drawn on 25 November 2020. The team from Martinique received a bye for this round and directly qualified for the round of 64 on the amateur path.[14]
- Overseas ties took place on 20 December.
- The draw for the professional path took place on 7 January 2021, with matches played on 19 and 20 January.[23][24]
- In the amateur path, matches took place entirely within the regional leagues, with the winners of the three inter-league matches from the seventh round joining the region which had an odd number of qualifiers.[25] The pre-draw was published on 22 January 2021.[21] Matches took place on 13 and 14 February, with three postponed pending outcomes of ties in the previous round, and two postponed due to inclement weather.
