Team history
Their success spans Michel Platini's nine-goal EURO campaign, Zinédine Zidane's generation and the later side built around players such as Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé.
France also reached the World Cup finals in 2006 and 2022 and the EURO 2016 final. The 2021 Nations League title added another senior trophy. In 2026 they reached the World Cup semi-finals, losing to Spain before defeat by England in the third-place match. Those results underline how frequently the team have contested the later rounds of major tournaments.
Platini's nine goals at EURO 1984 came in just five matches. Zidane later scored twice in the 1998 World Cup final, while Mbappé scored a hat-trick in the 2022 final. These performances are useful landmarks for comparing the responsibilities carried by the team's leading players across different eras.
