The 106th edition of the Coupe de France has already started and six rounds have taken place. The National 1 teams have already entered the competition and we could see some surprises like the elimination of Orléans in the previous round against Avoine / Chinon / Cinais (N3) on penalties with the score of 8- 7 (1-1 during the 120 minutes) but also the 5-1 humiliation of Sedan against Reims Sainte-Anne yet in N3. Stade Briochin, Bourg-en-Bresse Péronnas and Versailles have also taken the door. On the other hand, it went easily for Nancy, Le Mans or even Châteauroux.
From now on, we will know the fate of the different teams and in particular of the 20 Ligue 2 formations which are entering this round of the competition. Bordeaux, Metz and AS Saint-Étienne who have just been relegated from Ligue 1 will (re)discover the fact of starting the Coupe de France earlier. The 7th round will take place on October 29 and 30, while the 8th round will take place on Saturday November 19 and Sunday November 20.
