Local French Clubs Advance to 7th Round of Coupe de France 2026-2027 with Key Opponents Awaiting

Four teams from the Côtes-d'Armor region—En Avant Guingamp, Lannion FC, USPL, and COB Saint-Brieuc—remain in the Coupe de France football competition, grouped in Group A alongside 14 out of 16 Breton clubs. Meanwhile, Stade Castelbourgeois FC and CPB Bréquigny Football are in Group H. This grouping precedes the 7th round draw, where clubs will discover their next adversaries as they aim to progress further in this prestigious tournament.

In the neighboring Deux-Sèvres department, three teams—Bressuire, Nueillaubiers, and Chamois Niortais Saint-Flo—have also advanced to the seventh round. Bressuire secured a penalty shootout win over Panazol, Nueillaubiers triumphed against Avenir 79, and Chamois Niortais Saint-Flo defeated Libourne Foot similarly via penalties. The draw placed Chamois Niortais Saint-Flo in Group G, potentially facing tougher Ligue 2 sides like Pau or Rodez along with National 1 and R2 teams. Bressuire and Nueillaubiers fell into Group H, where they might face FC Nantes from Ligue 2 or other lower league teams such as Vendée FC La Roche (Ligue 3) and Poiré-sur-Vie (N1).

These groupings highlight the intense competition local clubs face as they continue their cup journeys. According to the organizing French Football Federation (FFF), the draw on October 28 is a pivotal moment for these clubs, determining their routes forward in the 2026-2027 Coupe de France season.
