Jenifer to Perform at Coupe de France Finals at Accor Arena

French singer Jenifer is set to perform a showcase at the Accor Arena on May 24, 2026. The performance is scheduled for 16:30, serving as the opening act for the women’s national final of the Coupe de France handball tournament.

The event will take place ahead of the championship match between Metz Handball and JDA Dijon. This collaboration between the Coupe de France finales, presented by Caisse d’Epargne, and a major star of French song marks the second consecutive year the tournament has partnered with a musical artist to attract a larger audience.

Career Context and Performance

Jenifer’s appearance at the Accor Arena follows an extensive tour consisting of more than 75 dates across French-speaking Europe. During the showcase, she is expected to perform her most successful tracks.

The artist first gained national prominence through the program Graines de Stars on M6 and achieved widespread fame after winning the first edition of Star Academy in 2002. Over the following years, she established herself as a prominent figure in the French music industry.

Tournament Tradition

The integration of high-profile musical performances into the Coupe de France finales has become a recurring strategy for the event. In the previous year, the tournament had originally scheduled singer Kendji Girac to perform.

However, Girac canceled his appearance, leading to a last-minute replacement by Amel Bent. The 2026 partnership with Jenifer continues this trend of bringing pop music into the venue described as the temple of French handball.
