The draw for the first round of the Coupe de France, including Ligue 1 clubs, has been made. The Rouge et Blanc will face AJ Auxerre in the round of 64 on the weekend of December 19-21.

They now know their fate! While they were waiting to find out the identity of their final opponent of 2025, the AS Monaco players now have a name in mind. Following the draw for the Round of 64 of the Coupe de France, held this Monday evening at the Parc des Princes and bringing together the 64 teams still in contention in three groups, the Rouge et Blanc have indeed been drawn against AJ Auxerre at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps.

A second CdF encounter

Placed in Group A, which includes teams from the southern part of France from east to west, the two future opponents will see their paths cross as the Principality club enters the competition in this 2025-2026 edition of the oldest French cup competition. This will be the second meeting between the two teams in the Coupe de France, the first having taken place in 1991-1992 (2-2, 4-1 victory on penalties).

Hoping to win another title… 35 years later

Let us remember that this prestigious trophy has come back five times to the Principality (1960, 1963, 1980, 1985 and 1991), even though it hasn’t been won for almost 35 years now. So, while we wait for the final schedule of the matches on the weekend of December 19-21, here is the complete schedule for the Round of 64 of the Coupe de France.
