France
France’s World Cup legacy is defined by dominance and landmark moments that have established Les Bleus as one of modern football’s true powerhouses. The nation has won two World Cup titles—first in 1998 on home soil and again in 2018. With 16 appearances and consistent deep runs since the late 1990s, France has built a reputation for sustained excellence, highlighted by additional runner-up finishes in 2006 and 2022. The country’s storied past includes the extraordinary feat of Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals in the 1958 tournament—still the most ever scored by a single player in one World Cup. France has also secured its place in history by reaching back-to-back finals in 2018 and 2022, a rare accomplishment. In the modern era, France continues to shine under the brilliance of Kylian Mbappé with his historic hat-trick in the 2022 Final—the first scored in a World Cup decider since 1966.
