The Coupe de France trophy is currently on display at the Louvre-Lens museum, just one week after Racing Club de Lens secured the title. The trophy will be exhibited at the museum for one year, with free access for visitors until June 14th.
RC Lens director general Benjamin Parrot described the exhibition as rectifying an “anomaly,” emphasizing the Coupe de France’s significance as the most authentic and popular trophy in French football, according to BFM Lille. The team won the competition on May 22nd, 2026, defeating Lyon in the final.
The display allows supporters to view the trophy firsthand in the Pavillon de verre at the museum. Lens’ victory marked their first Coupe de France win since 1998, ending a 28-year drought. The club finished seventh in Ligue 1 this season, making their Coupe de France triumph a high point in an otherwise unremarkable league campaign.
This victory secures Lens a spot in the group stage of the 2026-27 Europa League, providing a significant boost to their European ambitions. The club will also compete in the Trophee des Champions, the French Super Cup, against the Ligue 1 champions. The exhibition at the Louvre-Lens is a celebration of this achievement for the club and its supporters.
