Coupe de France 2006/07
The competition for the Coupe de France in the 2006/07 season was the 90th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year, 6,581 clubs registered - a new record participation -, including those from overseas French possessions , of which, however, once again no eleven could qualify for the national main round.
Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain this time only made it to the quarter-finals, where he failed because of the eventual winner of the trophy, FC Sochaux-Montbéliard . For Sochaux this meant the second Coupe de France in the fifth final - exactly 70 years after the first title win and 19 years after the club from Franche-Comté last participated in the final . Final opponent Olympique de Marseille was even in his 18th final; With ten victories up to then - the last one was 18 years ago - the team from Provence is the record cup winner in France until today ( 2009 ).
The lower-class participants were not as strongly represented in the round of 16 as in previous years, but only five: two second ( FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin , HSC Montpellier ) and third division teams ( Clermont Foot , OC Vannes ) , plus as the only team from the highest amateur league of FC Montceau . Of these, only Vannes and Montceau reached the quarter-finals, the fourth division from Montceau-les-Mines even reached the semi-finals. Since the introduction of professionalism (1932), only a single team from the fourth-highest division had succeeded in this ( Calais RUFC in 2000 , which even made it to the final).
After the qualifying rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the 20 top division teams also intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams . The pairings and home rights were drawn freely for each round; However, there was a restriction on the privilege of lower-class clubs: only teams that played at least two game levels - not to be confused with league levels - lower than their opponent were automatically given home rights. Occasionally, however, amateur teams in particular waived this right in return for payment (for example AS Lyon-Duchère against Sochaux) or gave way - as in this play, for example, FC Montceau against the first division clubs Girondins Bordeaux , RC Lens and FC Sochaux in the Stade Jean-Laville von Gueugnon - against an attractive opponent in a nearby larger stadium. If the score was tied after extra time, there was a penalty shoot-out.
Thirty-second finals
Games on January 5th to 7th, 2007.

Special occurrences
The fifth final in cup history, which had to be decided by a penalty shoot-out, set a new record for the number of spectators. For referee Poulat it was the second leadership of a final after 2002 . There was also a premiere: for the first time since the final of the French Junior Championship was played as a prelude to the final of the Coupe de France, the same club won both titles, and just like the professional team, the U-19s of FC Sochaux also had to follow a 2-2 win against the AJ Auxerre juniors in the penalty shootout.
