The 2021 French football cup is getting tough with the entry into the running of league 2 clubs. The TFC knows its opponent. Among the 168 teams, there are also amateurs from Muret and Montauban… and the little Gard thumb: FC Langlade.
168 clubs in the running
There were 7,505 clubs registered for this new edition of the Coupe de France and they are now only 168. Pro clubs like the 19 in league 2, but also amateurs who play their matches in National, regional, but also departmental , the equivalent of the 10th Division. Among them, there are 4 district clubs, including the little thumb of the competition which evolves in the Gard: FC Langlade.
The draw was made by Hubert Fournié (ex-Reims coach) and Laura Georges (180 caps for the France team).
