Les Parisiennes return to competitive action this week for their opening match of the new year and the start of their 2025–2026 Coupe de France Féminine campaign against LOSC Lille – a team that has already beaten Valenciennes FC 3-2 and EFP Fontainebleau 5-0 to get to the last 64 of this season's competition – at 14:30 on Sunday at PSG Campus.
For their first outing of 2026, Paris Saint-Germain's U18 boys will travel to the Stade Robert Diochon for a Coupe Gambardella last-64 tie against FC Rouen 1899 at 14:30 on Sunday. While the capital club's youngsters thrashed C'Chartres 8-0 in the previous round, Les Diables Rouges have successively beaten Le Havre FC 2012 4-0, SC Octeville-sur-Mer 10-1, US Louviers 4-0, AS Valognes 1-0, Maladrerie OS 4-1 and SC Abbeville 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw to reach this stage of the competition.
Meanwhile, having well and truly dispatched Avant-Garde Caen Football 15-0 last time out, our U18 girls will come up against their RC Lens counterparts in the last 32 of the Coupe Nike Féminine U18 – a new competition that is the equivalent of the Coupe Gambardella but for girls' teams – at Arras's Stade Degouve Brabant, also at 14:30 on Sunday.
