FRANCE – WORLD CUP AWAY SHIRT 2022
France, known as Les Bleus, are one of world football’s true powerhouses, blending an extraordinary talent pool with a long-standing tradition of excellence on the biggest stages. Founded in the early 20th century, the French national team has appeared at numerous FIFA World Cups, lifting the trophy twice - first in 1998 on home soil and again in 2018 in Russia.
In the UEFA European Championship, France have also excelled, winning the tournament twice (1984, 2000) and regularly progressing deep into the competition. Their sustained success across multiple generations has firmly established them among the sport’s elite national sides.
Over the years, France have been home to some of football’s most gifted players. Legends such as Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry inspired earlier triumphs, while the modern era has been driven by stars like Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé - celebrated worldwide for his electrifying pace, ruthless finishing, and big-game impact.
This crisp away shirt was worn at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Entering the tournament as defending champions, France once again demonstrated their pedigree by reaching the final. In a dramatic showdown with Argentina, they forced extra time and a penalty shootout thanks to a breathtaking Kylian Mbappé hat-trick, ultimately finishing as runners-up in one of the most unforgettable finals in World Cup history - a match that also saw Lionel Messi finally lift the World Cup trophy.
