Coupe de France 2010–11 Summary
The 2010–11 Coupe de France officially began on 11 August 2010 with the first round of matches kicking off in the Alsace region, while most other regions commenced their fixtures the following weekend. However, the qualification process for the tournament had already been underway since January 2010, particularly in overseas territories and collectivities like New Caledonia, where their national cup competition acted as a qualifier for the Coupe de France. One of the standout stories of the competition was Chambéry, an amateur club from the Championnat de France amateur 2—the fifth tier of French football. Chambéry captured national attention by becoming the first amateur side in the competition’s history to eliminate three Ligue 1 clubs. Their remarkable run ended on 2 March 2011 in the quarterfinals, where they were defeated 3–0 by Ligue 2 side Angers. Despite their exit, Chambéry was recognized for their achievements and, on 15 April, were awarded the Petit Poucet Plaque, an honor reserved for the best-performing amateur club in the tournament. The final took place on 14 May 2011, where Lille secured a 1–0 victory over the defending champions Paris Saint-Germain. The decisive goal came in the latter stages of the second half through Ludovic Obraniak, earning Lille their first Coupe de France title in over 56 years and marking a significant domestic triumph.
