A tricky draw
The French Football Federation carried out the draw for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France this Monday evening at Princes Parkscene of the final of the previous edition. OM was not spared since he will have to face one of the most historic teams in French football, AS Saint-Étienne.

A crucial meeting
The 32nd finals of the Coupe de France will take place on December 21 and 22 next, while the round of 16 is scheduled for mid-January. As for the final, it will be held on May 24, 2025 at the Stade de France, the legendary venue of Saint-Denis. For OM, this shock against Saint-Étienne represents a decisive turning point in their quest for the title. A victory would open the doors to the round of 16 and bring them a little closer to the coveted coronation. On the other hand, a premature elimination would be a hard blow for Marseille's ambitions.
A challenge to take up

Roberto De Zerbi and his men will have a lot to do to overcome a Saint-Etienne team which, despite its current difficulties, remains a sure value in French football. The key to success will undoubtedly lie in the ability of the Marseillais to raise their level of play and to demonstrate unfailing determination.
