The France national football team, nicknamed Les Bleus, is the representative side of France in international men's football, governed by the French Football Federation. Based at the national training center in Clairefontaine, the team plays its home matches at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. France is one of the world's most successful national teams, having won the FIFA World Cup twice, in 1998 on home soil and again in 2018, and the UEFA European Championship twice, in 1984 and 2000. The team's golden generation of the late 1990s and early 2000s, featuring Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, and Lilian Thuram, defined an era of dominance. The modern era, led by stars like Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann, has seen France remain a perennial contender, reaching the World Cup final again in 2022. The team is renowned for its multicultural squad, tactical flexibility, and incredible depth of talent across all positions. Supported by a massive and passionate nation, Les Bleus carry the expectation of excellence every time they take the field.
