Toulouse won their first-ever Coupe de France title in last season's final which saw six goals as Les Violets ran riot against Les Canaris who managed to reach the final of the competition for a second year in a row. Logan Costa and Thijs Dallinga scored a brace each before Zakaria Aboukhlal added TFC's fifth goal, whilst Nantes grabbed a consolation effort through Ludovic Blas. It was the highest-scoring Coupe de France final since 1989.
