Blois Foot 41 Drawn Against FC Bayeux for Coupe de France 32es de Finale

Blois Foot 41 has secured a challenging next match in the 32es de finale of the 2025 Coupe de France against FC Bayeux. The draw took place on December 1, 2025, at Parc des Princes, featuring participation from Ligue 1 clubs alongside smaller teams. Blois Foot clinched their spot in this round after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over SO Romorantin (2-2, 6-7).

FC Bayeux, competing in Régional 1 and currently ranked 9th in their league, earned their position by eliminating Stade Malherbe de Caen in the previous round. The match between Blois Foot and FC Bayeux is scheduled to be held in Normandy within less than two weeks.

Blois Foot is part of Group C, which includes six Ligue 1 clubs—Paris Saint-Germain, Angers, Lorient, Nantes, Brest, and Rennes—as well as several Ligue 2 teams and regional clubs. Potentially, Blois Foot could face elite teams such as PSG or Nantes, the latter of which they faced and lost to in the 2017 32es de finale. Interestingly, Blois Foot might also encounter their former coach Cédric Hengbart, now managing Avranches. Aside from Bayeux, other Régional 1 clubs like Le Gosier, Périgny, and Montreuil remain in contention.

The draw was conducted by former Ligue 1 player Frédéric Piquionne and Olympic handball champion Cléopâtre Darleux.
