Since the start of 2026, our Parisian side has shown impressive consistency across all competitions. In 18 matches, they have recorded 16 wins, with only two narrow defeats against the Lyonnais side. Having qualified for the Arkema Première Ligue play-offs, Paris Saint-Germain Féminine are still in contention for two trophies. But before thinking about the clash with Paris FC Féminines on 16 May, the club from the capital will need to dig deep and find every resource possible to overcome Olympique Lyonnais Féminin this Sunday in Valenciennes.
Unbeaten leaders of the Arkema Première Ligue, winners of the Coupe LFFP, and recently qualified for the final of the UEFA Women's Champions League, Olympique Lyonnais Féminin will arrive in Valenciennes in top form and will represent another major challenge for Paulo César’s players. To reach the Coupe de France final (their first in three years), the Rhône-based side defeated AS Saint-Étienne Féminines (6–0), Olympique de Marseille Féminines (5–1), Le Havre AC Féminines (7–0) and RC Strasbourg Alsace Féminines (6–0). It has been a dominant run, but the most recent meetings between Paris and Lyon have shown that the gap between the two sides is beginning to narrow.
On Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain Féminine will play in their sixth consecutive Women’s Coupe de France final. Crowned champions in 2022 against FF Yzeure Allier Auvergne Féminine (8–0) and two years later against FC Fleury 91 Féminines (1–0), the club from the capital will be eager to add a fifth Coupe de France title to its honours list. For the occasion, Paulo César’s players will compete in the modern surroundings of the Stade du Hainaut, nearly fifteen years after its inauguration. With a capacity of 25,000 seats, the Valenciennes venue could once again provide the stage for a thrilling battle between the two best teams in France.
Supporters in Valenciennes on Sunday will have the opportunity to enjoy, from 12:00, the final of the inaugural Coupe Nike U18! After a brilliant run, the young Parisian academy players secured their place in the final and will face Le Havre AC Féminines in an attempt to win this new competition dedicated to the rising talents of tomorrow.
