General
France booked their place in Tokyo by winning the 2020 European Olympic Qualification Tournament in Berlin, Germany. The French side improved throughout the competition, needing five sets to defeat Slovenia in the semifinal before a convincing 3-0 victory over hosts Germany in the final.

Tokyo will be France's fifth participation in the men's Olympic volleyball competition, and on each occasion they have not progressed beyond the group stage. In Rio in 2016 they posted two wins from five against Mexico and Canada, but defeats to Italy, the United States of America and Brazil saw them eliminated before the knockout stage.

The French team has won one medal at the world championships, a bronze at the 2002 edition in Argentina. At the most recent tournament in 2018, France failed to improve on their fourth-place finish from 2014 as a decisive loss to Serbia in the second group phase meant they did not progress to the next round.

France were the last winners of the World League in 2017, but had to settle for silver at the inaugural Nations League in 2018 after defeat to the Russian team in the final. They slid out of the medals at the 2019 edition, as they lost both games in the final group stage against their US and Russian opponents and failed to progress to the semifinals.
