Marseille vs Lille Headline French Cup Round of 32 Draw

The draw for the Coupe de France Round of 32 has set up an intriguing clash between two Ligue 1 heavyweights, as Olympique de Marseille will take on Lille OSC in mid-January. This high-profile matchup was determined during Sunday’s draw ceremony, which took place prior to the Round of 64 match between RC Lens and defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Marseille secured their spot in the next round with a convincing 4-0 victory over 10-man Saint-Etienne, while Lille narrowly defeated third-tier Rouen 1-0 in a hard-fought contest on Friday.

The Round of 32 will feature two additional all-Ligue 1 encounters, with Stade Brestois 29 facing FC Nantes and Stade de Reims squaring off against AS Monaco. Should PSG emerge victorious in their match against Lens at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, they will face fifth-tier side FC Espaly in the next round.
