The Legacy
France arrived at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina marking their first appearance in the tournament since 1966. Michel Hidalgo managed a squad containing Michel Platini, Marius Trésor, Dominique Rocheteau, and Bernard Lacombe. Placed in a difficult group alongside Italy, Argentina, and Hungary, the side failed to advance beyond the first round. Despite a victory over Hungary in their final group match, the initial losses to Italy and the hosts proved insurmountable. This Adidas away kit carries the weight of a team that arrived with high expectations but ultimately left early.
Key Moment
France's 3-1 victory over Hungary in the 1978 World Cup group stage, where Les Bleus famously wore their away white kit due to a jersey clash.
