The
Coupe de la Ligue was a
knockout cup competition in
French football organised by the
Ligue de Football Professionnel and comprises clubs of France's top football division,
Ligue 1, France's second division,
Ligue 2, and the third division, the
Championnat National. The current competition was established relatively late in 1994 but another competition named Coupe de la Ligue existed from 1963 to 1965 and in 1982, a Coupe d'Été (later also called Coupe de la Ligue) was held before the start of the French league season. It was abolished after the 2019–20 season to reduce fixture congestion.[1]
