Coupe de France féminine 2020/21
The competition for the Coupe de France féminine in the 2020/21 season is the 20th edition of the French football cup for women's teams . Participation is only compulsory for women in the first to third division.
The defending champions are the women of Olympique Lyon .
The competition is held according to the classic cup mode; This means in particular that the respective fixtures are drawn without seeding lists or a performance-based or from the round of 16 without regional pre-sorting of the clubs from all clubs still in competition and only one game is played at the end of which a winner has to be determined (and be it through a penalty shoot-out - extension in the event of a tie after 90 minutes is not provided), which then qualifies for the next round, while the loser is eliminated. Home rights are also determined by lot for each match - with the exception of the final, which takes place in a neutral place at different locations every year - but with the restriction that clubs that have to compete against an eleven that are at least two league levels higher automatically have home rights to get.
After the qualification rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF have been completed , the twelve top division teams will intervene in the competition in the sixteenth finals; by 2017/18 they had to do this in the thirty-second finals, the so-called second federal round (Deuxième tour fédéral) . The 24 second division teams are already involved two rounds beforehand ( Premier tour fédéral or first federal round).
The FFF has set the following dates:
- 1st federal round: November 22, 2020
- Thirty-second finals: December 13, 2020
- Round of 16: January 10, 2021
