The France national football team is the national association football team of France and is controlled by the French Football Federation (FFF), the governing body for football in France. The team's colours are blue, white and red, and the coq gaulois its symbol. France are colloquially known as Les Bleus:(The Blues). France play home matches at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris, and the manager is Didier Deschamps. The French side are the reigning World Cup holders, having won the 2018 FIFA World Cup on 15 July 2018.

They have won two FIFA World Cups, two UEFA European Championships, an Olympic tournament, and two FIFA Confederations Cups. France experienced much of its success in four major eras: in the 1950s, 1980s, late 1990s/early 2000s, and late 2010s respectively, which resulted in numerous major honours.

2018 FIFA World Cup

Main article: 2018 FIFA World Cup

In 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying, France topped their group with 23 points; winning 7 wins, drawing 2 and losing once, although their two draws were against considerably weaker nations, drawing 0–0 with Belarus in their opening match and against Luxembourg, failing to secure a win against the latter since 1914, nearly 103 years. Their only defeat of the qualifying phase was against Sweden; losing 2–1 in the last few minutes following an error from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. France secured qualification to the World Cup finals with a 2–1 win over Belarus.

France were drawn in Group C along with Australia, Denmark, and Peru. France started the World Cup with a win in the match against Australia. They eventually won the group with a single-goal win against Peru and a goalless draw in the last match against Denmark.

In the knockout stage, France would face Group D runners-up Argentina. The match was ended in a 4–3 victory for France on two goals scored by Kylian Mbappé, who also won a penalty in the opening minutes. In the quarter-finals, France defeated Uruguay 2–0. The team advanced to a semi-final match against Belgium in St. Petersburg, which ended in a 1–0 win for the French with a corner kick headed into the goal by defender Samuel Umtiti. On 15 July, France beat Croatia in the final with result 4–2 to win the World Cup for the second time.
