It's the Coupe de France weekend on the lawns of Ile-de-France.
Ligue 2 clubs are entering the competition.
This offers some nice appointments for this 7th round.
Without forgetting the continuation of the D1 Arkéma on the women's side.
Overview.
The question: where will Marcoussis stop?
The players of FC Marcoussis / Nozay / La Ville-du-Bois (R2) are not afraid of anything.
Florent Vovard and his partners will play for the first time in the history of the club a 7th round of the Coupe de France.
Yes, we talk a lot about football in this Essonne town famous for hosting the headquarters of the French Rugby Federation.
Having come to the end two weeks ago from Suresnes (R2) after an incredible penalty shootout (3-3, 4-3 pens), they rub shoulders this time with Union Sportive Le Pays du Valois ( R1, Oise).
It's not an L2 as they dreamed of but it's the opportunity to hang on one more lap.
The audience at the Moulin de Nozay stadium is waiting for it.
Please note that places are limited (entrance 2 euros).
The derby: The Ulis want to trap the PFC
This is the other big (unbalanced) duel of the weekend.
Fans of Ulis (N2) are opposed to Paris FC (L2).
“We are going to have a great party at the stadium, promises Mamadou Niakaté, the coach of Ulis.
We are going to play our luck to the full.
We want to achieve the feat to please our supporters and amateur football.

On paper, a galaxy separates the two formations.
Thierry Laurey's PFC cannot afford elimination at this stage of the competition.
Especially since tenth place in L2 a third of the championship is a stain for the moment.
The match to go to: Aubervilliers for the feat
FCM Aubervilliers (N3) won the jackpot with the reception of Quevilly-Rouen-Métropole (QRM), 13th in L2.
"I have mixed feelings," said Rachid Youcef, the Aubervilliers coach, after the draw.
We are happy because the goal in the Coupe de France is to come up against top-level teams.
Now we would have liked a more affordable draw to have more ambitions.
Players have the opportunity to create the feat with a possible trip to Reunion in case of qualification for the 8th round.

The André-Karman stadium will be full for this poster (kick-off 4 p.m., entry 5 euros).
The big move: the Red Star rubs shoulders with the L2
The Red Star has been a candidate for a return to the second division since 2019. Eighth in the National, still too fragile at home, he hopes to finally get on the right wagon this season.
He will have the opportunity to taste the level of the antechamber of the elite on Saturday afternoon.
Direction Valenciennes (6th of L2).
A victory would launch a new course like the 2021 edition where the Vert et Rouge had reached the round of 16 (elimination on penalties against OL).
Player to watch: Rosemonde Kouassi
Fabrice Abriel, the coach of Fleury 91, knows it better than anyone: to overthrow the Lyonnaises, reigning European champions, he will need a scorer in good shape.
Sunday noon, Rosemonde Kouassi will be particularly expected.
The 20-year-old Ivory Coast forward has already scored four league goals, as have PSG's Kadidiatou Diani and Grace Geyoro.
Author of a mixed start to the season (7th after 5 days), Fleury 91 hopes to create the feat to get closer to the top 5.
