The 2016 Coupe de France Final decided the winner of the 2015–16 Coupe de France, the 99th season of France's all-main-divisions football cup. It took place on 21 May at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris.
In the final, Marseille took on on arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain, in a re-match of the 2006 final where PSG won 2–1. PSG are the defending champions, having beaten Auxerre in the 2015 Coupe de France Final. As PSG had won the 2015–16 Ligue 1 title already, the otherwise-enabled Europa League place went to the next highest league finisher – in this case, Saint-Étienne.[1]
PSG equalled Marseille's record ten Coupe de France victories with their win. Marseille have not been able to lift this more difficult-to-win cup for 27 years.
Background
The match is Marseille's 19th final (a record), of which they have won 10. Their most recent final was in 2007, which they lost on penalties to Sochaux. PSG have won 9 Coupe de France titles from 13 finals prior to this year's showpiece.[2]
