Coupe de France

History

The Coupe de France was created on 15 January 1917 by the Comité Français Interfédéral (CFI), under the impetus of Henri Delaunay. Initially named the "Coupe Charles-Simon" in honor of the CFI's founder, who died in action in 1915, it was conceived as a symbol of national unity in the midst of the First World War. Paris Saint-Germain is today the competition's most successful club with 16 titles, ahead of Olympique de Marseille (10 titles). In the 2025-26 edition, Racing Club de Lens won its very first title in the competition, beating OGC Nice 3-1 in the final, played on 22 May 2026 at the Stade de France.
