The draw for the 32nd French Cup final took place on Monday 21 November at the La Beaujoire stadium in Nantes at 7.30pm.
The 32 finals of the football French Cup will take place on Saturday 7 January and Sunday 8 January 2023. Here are some posters regarding the qualified clubs of the Riviera:
- Le Puy (N2) – Nice (L1)
- Munich (L1) – Rodez (L2)
- Grasse (N2) – La Tamponnaise (Reunion)
- Hyeres FC (N2) – Marseille (L1)
During last year’s 105th edition, OGC Nice players accomplished the feat of reaching the final. After a hard-fought match, they had failed to win the fourth French Cup in their history against FC Nantes’ Canaries (1-0) at the Stade de France. After Christophe Galtier, who left for Paris-Saint-Germain, was replaced by Lucien Favre for the 2022-2023 financial year, will the Aiglons be able to reach the final again this year?
Clubs from Aubagne and Olympique de Marseille will also participate in this round of the Coupe de France, the oldest football competition in the country.
The Marseille city club will meet the Hyères FC, a Var club, not unknown to Marseille fans. It is the former owner of Rugby Club Toulonnais, Mourad Boudjellal, who is now in charge of the Hyérois football club. A candidate, for a time, for the takeover of Olympique de Marseille.
The Ollioules native had positioned himself to buy OM, alongside Tunisian entrepreneur Mohamed Ayachi Ajroudi, before finally acquiring the national team resident 2, who will host this qualifying match for January 16.
Another club in this division, Aubagne FCwill face a national club 3: Chambery Savoie Football. Difficult away match for the Aubagnais who have won only one game since the start of the season after 9 meetings.
