The 2014 Coupe de France Final decided the winner of the 2013-14 Coupe de France, the 97th season of France's premier football cup. It was played on 3 May at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris.
In the final, Guingamp beat Rennes 2–0 in a Derby Breton. By winning, they qualified for the Group Stage of the 2014-15 UEFA Europa League, and the 2014 Trophée des Champions against the 2013-14 Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Background
The match was Rennes' sixth final, of which they had won two (1965 and 1971). Their most recent final was in 2009, which they lost 2-1 to Guingamp. That was Guingamp's second appearance in the final after their unsuccessful attempt in 1997 when they lost on penalties to Nice.[1]
