The competition for the Coupe de France in the 2013/14 season was the 97th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. The defending champions were the Girondins Bordeaux , but this time they were eliminated in the round of 32 against a fifth division team. The final turned out to be a new edition of the inner-Breton pairing of 2008/09 : Stade Rennes was again defeated (in its fifth final appearance) En Avant Guingamp , who won the cup for the second time in only its third final.

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) organized qualifying rounds must engage in competition - the third division in the fifth, the two The latter groups in the 7th round - for the first division team - and possibly a lower-class defending champion - the competition only begins 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 belonging to the same league 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 From the sixteenth finals on, this presorting is no longer applicable and the competition will only be played according to the classic cup mode: fixtures are drawn from all clubs still in the competition without seed lists and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 fight for the title as the most successful outsider, which is associated with cash prizes. This side competition, which is currently mainly sponsored by PMU , is officially called Classement des Petits Poucets (in German: "Däumlingsprüfung"). The US Sainte-Marie from Réunion was the only team from overseas to survive the seventh round (2-0 win against third division Paris FC ). While a total of ten second and 14 third division clubs had already been eliminated before the thirty-second finals, four sixth and two seventh-class clubs with FC Quimperlé and AS La Cayolle Marseille as well as the eighth division Olympique Marcq-en-Barœul made it to the top of the cup . However, it was not a good year for the "Thumble": already in the thirty-second finals all sixth and lower-tier teams were eliminated, and only three of the seven fifth division teams made it to the next round.
With FC Sète and AS Cannes , at least two clubs reported back that had already won the competition in its early days - Sète 1930 and 1934 , Cannes 1932  - but have only been playing for points in the amateur field for a long time. For the second time in a row no team from Alsace reached the thirty-second finals after the "big" SR Colmar , Racing Strasbourg and FC Mulhouse had to give up before the 8th round and the last three amateur teams ( SC Schiltigheim , US Sarre -Union , SC Dinsheim ) could not prevail in this round either.

In the sixteenth finals it came to the "death of favorites" of the first division, of which only half of the 14 teams still involved reached the second round - and only two of them (Marseille and Paris) were inferior to a league competitor.

Special

Unlike five years earlier, in 2014 before the start of the game, in addition to the official French national anthem, Bro gozh ma zadoù, was played in the sold-out Stade de France, performed by the singer Nolwenn Leroy and sung by the majority of the supporters of both clubs.

Of the total of 29 players or coaches who were involved in the 2009 finals of these Breton opponents, only two players were used this time, namely Mathis (Guingamp) and Danzé (Rennes), the two team captains of their eleven. For Mathis this was already the fourth cup victory after he had already been successful in 2003 and 2005 - back then with AJ Auxerre.

The final result of 2-0 was particularly noticeable for Guingamp and Rennes in this 2013/14 season. Guingamp had already prevailed with this result in the two Ligue 1 matches between them, and as in the final, the goalscorer to make it 2-0 was also Mustapha Yatabaré (with a total of eight goals, the most successful goalscorer in the main cup). And on the way to the final, Guingamp had won three, Rennes two games 2-0.
