The official program for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France,
whose draw was made on Sundaywas confirmed this Monday by the FFF. The main lesson concerns Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille, who will not play on the same day as the other clubs.
The reason? The Champions Trophy that the two teams will compete on Thursday January 8. Not unlike an incongruity, the LFP organized the meeting in Kuwait. To give them a little extra rest, PSG and OM will not play on Sunday January 11 in the Coupe de France.
The derby between PSG and Paris FC will take place on Monday January 12, at 9:10 p.m. OM, who inherited Petit Poucet, Bayeux (R1), will play their match the next day, Tuesday 13.
