The Legacy

Adidas manufactured this home shirt while Michel Hidalgo managed the national side throughout 1979. Michel Platini anchored the midfield, supported by the defensive work of Marius Trésor. Bernard Lacombe and Dominique Rocheteau provided the attacking options for a squad preparing for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers. The team played their home fixtures under the watchful eye of a group establishing themselves ahead of the 1982 World Cup.

Key Moment

France beat Czechoslovakia 2-1 at the Parc des Princes on 17 November 1979 in their UEFA Euro 1980 qualifying campaign, narrowly missing out on the finals to the eventual European champions.
