Facts

  • France are one of only two teams to have taken part in every qualifying competition thus far. They have gone on to play in 11 out of a possible 17 finals. As hosts in 1998, the Equipe Tricolore claimed the trophy with a 3-0 win against Brazil in the final.

  • The ultimate success may have been a long time in coming, but France were already a notable force in world football. It was a Frenchman, Jules Rimet, who established the FIFA World Cup, and Lucien Laurent scored the first goals in FIFA World Cup history.

  • The French team were devastated in 2002 when as defending champions they fell at the first hurdle, eliminated after a first round in which they neither won a game nor scored a single goal.
