CdF competition logo

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 2019/20 season was the 103rd edition of the French football cup for men's teams . Defending champion Stade Rennes was eliminated in the semifinals. In the final, Paris Saint-Germain , who won the coupe for the 13th time, prevailed against AS Saint-Étienne .

During the third and second division clubs as well as eleven participants from 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 will the 64 clubs qualified nationwide be divided into four regional pots of 16 teams each, in which approximately the same number of teams from the same league affiliation will be 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 From the sixteenth finals on, this presorting is no longer applicable and the competition will only be played according to the classic cup mode: fixtures are drawn from all clubs still in the competition without seed lists and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 lot for each match, with the restriction that clubs that have to compete against an eleven that are at least two league levels higher automatically receive home rights - unless a team from overseas reaches the main round: this must then, regardless of the league difference, compete against the opponent in metropolitan Europe .

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"). In the 2019/20 season, three sixth ( ESA Linas-Monthléry , EF Reims Sainte-Anne and JS Saint-Pierre from La Réunion ) and even an eight-class team ( SSEP Hombourg-Haut ) reached the thirty-second finals. In the further course of the competition, SAS Épinal and ASM Belfort, two fourth division partners qualified for the quarter-finals after they had defeated a Ligue 1 representative in the previous round.

The FFF had originally set April 25, 2020 in the Stade de France for the final . Due to the pandemic-related interruption in football, this date has been postponed to July 24, 2020.

Saint-Étienne's team captain Perrin saw the red card after half an hour for a tough tackle against Mbappé. In addition, referee Delerue handed out eight yellow cards - three of them to PSG players - and six in the first half of the game.

The only 5,000 admitted spectators meant the second lowest number of visitors in the previous 102 finals of the competition; only at the first event in the 1917/18 season was the audience even lower.
