Vendee Fontenay Foot face PSG in the Coupe de France on Saturday.
The Parisians, current holders of the Coupe de France, arrive buoyed by their sixth silverware of 2025 after triumphing 2-1 on spot-kicks versus Flamengo in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup decider.
Paris has already lifted the Ligue 1 crown, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, UEFA Champions League, and UEFA Super Cup this year, solidifying their position as Europe’s dominant force this term.
In contrast, Vendée Fontenay Foot ply their trade in Championnat National 3 (France’s fifth division) and confront a monumental test opposite the European titleholders.
PSG team news
Marquinhos picked up an adductor problem during the Champions League stalemate with Athletic Club on December 10, with no anticipated comeback until after the holidays. Achraf Hakimi stays out with a left ankle sprain from an early November challenge by Bayern’s Luis Diaz.
Ousmane Dembélé, recipient of the 2025 Ballon d’Or, featured off the bench versus Flamengo and joins the travelling group once more, despite the 28-year-old forward’s disrupted 2025-26 campaign marked by a hamstring issue and calf setback. His elite talent persists as a worry for Luis Enrique amid curtailed minutes, with the coach overseeing his rehabilitation closely.
Keeper Lucas Chevalier bounced back from a slight right ankle knock and resumed sessions, yet sat out the Athletic Club game and hasn’t played since, despite squad inclusion. Matvei Safonov stepped up admirably instead, shining brightest in the Flamengo showdown where his quartet of penalty stops clinched the Intercontinental Cup for PSG. However, he sustained a hand fracture in the shootout.
