France national football team

On April 7, 2019, the French Football Federation, born out of the transformation of the Comité Français Interfédéral (CFI), celebrated its 100th anniversary. The French Football Federation organises, supervises and regulates the practice of grassroots and elite football, its financing and the training of players and coaches throughout the country. The FFF federates the clubs whose mission is the training and practice of football. A non-profit organisation under the 1901 law, the Federation is recognised as being of public utility. It is characterised by its educational, civic and solidarity commitments. Its headquarters are in Paris at 87, boulevard de Grenelle, in the 15th arrondissement.

France's World Cup 2022 results Holders as the tournament kicked off, France missed out on becoming the first team to defend a FIFA World Cup title since Brazil in 1962 after losing to Argentina in the final. Kylian Mbappé became just the second player to notch a hat-trick in the showpiece as he helped Les Bleus rally from 2-0 and 3-2 down, but their South American opponents proved more clinical in the shoot-out to spell heartbreak for Didier Deschamps and his players. It was a cruel end to the competition for the two-time winners, though Mbappé finished tournament top scorer with eight goals and they celebrated two notable landmarks along the way – Hugo Lloris becoming his nation's most-capped player (145) and Olivier Giroud becoming their all-time top international scorer (53).

But he arguably could not have asked for a trickier matchup than a meeting with the reigning world champions France. This is not the first time the two nations have met across their footballing history, or indeed during the career of Argentina's No.10.
