For this return to a “normal” edition after last year's hybrid formula due to Covid, the FFF has innovated.
It has indeed decided to couple the draw of the 7th and 8th rounds which were made this Wednesday noon.
The teams, including the 11 Ile-de-France survivors, plus Paris FC, were divided into ten groups.
For its entry into the running,
Paris FC
(L2) fell on one of the two hierarchically strongest opponents who appeared in group A (with Nancy). Thierry Laurey's team will indeed travel to Sedan, current 6th in the National where he was drafted this season. The three other Ile-de-France teams in this group A were rather spared.
Créteil
will go to Molscheim, which plays four divisions below, and
Bobigny
will go to Reims Saint-Anne, a Regional 1 club. Finally,
Esperance Aulnaysienne
(R1) will also travel to the East to face a club of its own. level, Sarrebourg.
In group G,
Linas-Montlhéry,
two years after his 32nd final against PSG, will still face a pro club with Dunkirk, 13th in L2.
Cergy-Pontoise
(R1) will go to Amilly which evolves a division above (N2).
The other teams will move to hierarchical teams, in particular
the Red Star
in Esquelbecq, which will play four divisions below.
If they pass the Olympic obstacle Lumbrois (R1) and FC Saint-Julien (R3),
Versailles and Poissy
will meet in the 8th round for a derby of 78.
In group H, there will be a derby between
Chatou (R1) and ES Nanterre (R2
), le petit Poucet in Ile-de-France.
