A historic feat. Dinan-Léhon FC had never reached the 1/32 finals of the Coupe Gambardellahe did even better last Sunday by dominating the Blois team (2-0) and thus reaching the 1/16 finals of the competition.

The performance is all the more resounding when we know that Paris-Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille, the latter defending champion, were eliminated from the event last Sunday, which says a lot about the scope of this qualification for the Côtes-d’Armor team.
Draw this Thursday, January 16
Dinan-Léhon FC will not, however, be the only Poucet in the competition. In Brittany, Stade Pontivy is also still in the race, this is also the case elsewhere in France with other Regional 1 teams, the level at which young Dinannais play in the championship. Perhaps this is one of those that fate will reserve for the partners of Mathew Campionthe captain and author of the first goal against Blois.
The draw for the next meetings is scheduled for this Thursday January 16, 2025 at 12 p.m. It will be possible to follow it on FFFtv and on the Youtube channel of the French Football Federation.
The matches will be played Sunday February 2, 2025.

A professional club in the next round?
However, after their qualification, it was more towards professional club teams that most eyes turned for the next round in the DLFC locker room.
This is the case, for example, ofAlexandre Lefeuvreauthor of the second goal with an improbable pigeon wing on a serveAugustin Badoual : “Any professional club in the next round is fine with me. I just want to continue dreaming with my friends.”
Of his goal, he speaks of “a natural gesture, I take it as it comes”. But, more about his personal case, he especially wants to remember “a collective victory, a match controlled from start to finish”.
The victory of an entire club
Same analysis on the coach's side, Nicolas Lecoqwho praised his team’s “management of the issue”. But more than the victory of a team, it is the success of an entire club that he wanted to highlight, from the players to the managers, including its staff and the public, who came in large numbers despite the cold to the Guy Manivel complex, “ We feel a craze around our kids, it’s beautiful.”
