Main article: Coupe de France Final 2000

Calais RUFC entered the international spotlight during their fairytale run to the final of the 2000 Coupe de France. Made up of teachers, dock workers and office clerks, Calais' remarkable run saw the team defeat first division powers Racing Strasbourg and Bordeaux^[1]. They eventually lost 2-1 to Nantes in a close match, but their mere presence in the final was an epic achievement for an amateur club.
