Annecy receives Toulouse at the Annecy Sports Park, for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France, Thursday April 6, at 8:45 p.m. The locals, fifteenth in Ligue 2, but galvanized by their heroic victory in the previous round against Marseille, want to create the feat against a new resident of the elite.

More than 60 years after their last final in the event, in 1957, Toulouse dreams of a return to this level, but this time at the Stade de France. For this, the men of Philippe Montanier will have to manage the pressure of a public completely won over to the cause of their opponents, and who certainly imagine themselves already in Saint-Denis, on April 29, for the final. The two semi-finalists aim to find the defending champion, Nantes, who fell the day before Lyon (1-0).
