The '''Challengers Cup 26 final''' was the final match of the 26th edition of the [[IFCF]] [[Challengers Cup]], the secondary international club football tournament.
==Venue==
This was the first [[IFCF]] final held at the National Stadium in Olastaryn, which had a capacity of 72,000.
==Background==
===CS Saint-Rémy===
Saint-Rémy qualified for the [[Champions League]] group stage as [[Kelssek Championship]] winners. After placing third in their group, they advanced to the Challengers Cup round of 32. Coming into the final, they had successfully defended their league title becoming the first Kelssek club in 14 years to do so. This would be their second international final, with their previous appearance in the [[Cup Winners' Cup 72 final]] having ended in a 1–0 loss against [[Montreal Koreana]].
===Chromatik===
Chromatik qualified for the Challengers Cup group stage after placing eighth in Chromatika's Red League and winning the playoff tournament, beating derby rivals [[Anomalies]] in the final, to earn an IFCF berth. Prior to the final, they had finished third in the league. This was their second appearance in the Challengers Cup final, and sixth IFCF final overall when including four losses in the Champions League final.
