Since the seventh round, clubs qualified for the Coupe de France have received funding from the French Football Federation. The clubs still in the running have so far “won” €18,000: €6,000 for the seventh round and €12,000 for the eighth round. If this weekend's match is important from a sporting point of view – with qualification for the thirty-second finals with the entry of Ligue 1 clubs – it is also important from a point of view. financial view.

If we except the revenue from the meetings of this eighth round – which can be important – the prizes allow us to put butter in the spinach. Playing in the 32nd final brings in €25,000 more for each club. Overall, each qualified club will therefore receive €43,000. And many amateur clubs – particularly at regional level – will be present in the next round with the weekend’s confrontations.
