France at the Euros: All-time results, wins, record at UEFA European Championship
France are amongst the favourites to win Euro 2024 after Didier Deschamps' side stormed through qualification unbeaten to book their spot in Germany.
Les Bleus have found themselves experiencing final joy and heartbreak in their previous three major tournament appearances, with their 2022 World Cup final loss to Argentina arguably the greatest showpiece game in the tournament's distinguished history.
Deschamps' charges were unable to defend the world crown they secured in Russia in 2018 and they have also fallen short on the European stage in recent years.

Yet they are among the clear favourites for the trophy in Germany after winning seven and drawing one of their eight qualifying game, scoring 29 goals and conceding just three, two of which came in their final dead-rubber match against Greece.
Who has qualified for Euro 2024?
France were rarely forced out of second gear in qualifying despite being drawn in a tough group alongside the Netherlands, Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
Convincing wins over Ronald Koeman's Oranje were the standout results, alongside gritty showings against Greece and Ireland and a remarkable 14-0 defeat of Gibraltar. They won every game until a 2-2 draw with Greece on the final matchday, when their place as group winners was already assured.
