This year, the format of the Coupe de France has been upset on several aspects.
First of all, at the level of the drawing of lots for the teams.
Previously, the draw was full, which meant that all teams could compete against each other at any stage of the competition.
But this season, due to the health context, the situation is different.
The Executive Committee of the French Football Federation has therefore decided to form four geographic groups for this draw, in order to minimize travel logistics.
Another major change, the course of matches in the event of a draw at the end of regulation time.
For this 2020-2021 edition, there are no more extensions in the event of a parity score at the end of the 90 minutes of play. The two teams therefore decide directly during a penalty shoot-out!
What to add a little more suspense and uncertainties to the course of the meetings.
The Coupe de France is broadcast in clear and free on France 2, but also on Eurosport 2.
