The competition for the Coupe de France in the 2012/13 season was the 96th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This season, 7,656 clubs from France and its overseas departments and territories took part, which set a new record.

Defending champion Olympique Lyon was eliminated this time in the thirty-second finals. Lyon's successors were the Girondins Bordeaux , who won this competition for the fourth time in their tenth finals since 1941 ; the south-west French had to wait 26 years for that. Bordeaux's final opponent, FC Evian Thonon Gaillard , had never made it further than the round of 16 before.

During the third and second division clubs as well as the cup winner of seven French overseas territories already in the regional of the subdivisions of the National Association French Football Federation (FFF) had to intervene organized qualifying rounds in the competition - the third division in the fifth, the two The latter groups in the 7th round - for the first division clubs the competition only began with the thirty-second finals (start of the main competition). Only in this round were the 64 qualified clubs nationwide divided into four regional pots of 16 teams each, in which almost the same number of teams from the same league affiliation were represented. From the sixteenth finals on, this presorting is no longer applicable and the competition will only be played according to the classic cup mode: fixtures are drawn from all clubs still in the competition without seed lists and only one game is played at the end of which a winner has to be determined (even if it is through Extra time and penalty shoot-outs), which then qualifies for the next round while the loser is eliminated. Home rights are also determined by drawing lots for each match, but with the restriction that clubs that have to compete against an eleven that are at least two league levels higher are automatically given home rights.

The lower-class clubs also fought for the title as the most successful outsider, which was associated with cash prizes. This side competition, which is currently mainly sponsored by PMU , is officially called Classement des Petits Poucets (in German: “Däumlingsprüfung”); here the US Quevilly , which had made it into the final against Lyon last year, could not defend their title, however, as they had already been eliminated before the start of the main round. On the other hand, Avenir Mende, a club in the seventh and AS Savigneux - Montbrison even in the eighth league, reached the thirty-second finals, in which Mende was able to prevail against a second division team and finally won this title. In the first rounds, SAS Épinal, a third division team, drew attention to itself, initially eliminating defending champions Lyon and then Nantes, a leading second division team. In the quarter-finals, however, the professional teams were among themselves, including only a second division with Racing Lens ; and in the semifinals none of the current top clubs in Ligue 1 was represented, but two teams from the middle of the table and two who at that time - three rounds before the end of the season - occupied only one relegation place.

Special occurrences

Also in 2013 there was no final win with more than one hit difference; this was the last time a team had succeeded 19 years earlier . Cup winners Bordeaux had not had a single home game, which has not been achieved by any Coupe de France winner since the abolition of games on neutral courts . In addition, the U-19 of the club had won the final for the Coupe Gambardella a few hours earlier ; only two other clubs (AS Saint-Étienne 1970 and FC Sochaux 2007) had previously won such a double cup.

For Bordeaux's midfielder Ludovic Obraniak, this was the second cup success after 2011 , when he  scored the decisive goal while still wearing the Lille OSC shirt . And his team-mate Cheick Diabaté could have entered the list of the most successful final scorers in the history of the competition - only Éric Pécout (1979) and Jean-Pierre Papin (1989) had three goals - had he not been in the 48th minute failed his penalty kick to Évian's goalkeeper Bertrand Laquait.
