A first in the Coupe de France
Although Monaco was drawn first, this match will take place in the legendary Bauer enclosure, in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis), since two divisions separate the two clubs. This will be the 16th meeting between the two teams, and the first in the Coupe de France. Note that for this draw, the 64 teams were divided into four groups of 16, according to regional criteria and divisional balance. But from the round of 16, the draw will become full.
