The 2016 Coupe de France Final will decide the winner of the 2015–16 Coupe de France, the 99th season of France's premier football cup. It will be played on 21 May at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris.

In the final, Olympique de Marseille take 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 A.J. Auxerre in the 2015 Coupe de France Final. Should Marseille win, they qualify for the Group Stage of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League. As PSG have won the 2015-16 Ligue 1 title already, should they win, the Europa League spot goes to the next highest league finisher - in this case, Saint-Etienne.

PSG have the chance to equal Marseille's record 10 Coupe de France victories with a win. Marseille have the chance to win the cup for the first time in 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.
