Football 5-a-side - Team France

General
France qualified for the 2020 Paralympic Games by reaching the final of the 2019 European Championships in Rome, Italy. They lost 3-1 to Spain but a runners-up spot was enough to secure them what will be their third Paralympic appearance at Tokyo 2020.

The French team also competed at the Paralympic Games in 2004 and 2012. They were ranked fifth on their debut in Athens, and at London 2012 they made it all the way to the final before defeat to Brazil meant they had to settle for silver.

France are yet to finish in the top three at the world championships, with fifth-place finishes in 2006 and 2010 representing their best performances at the tournament. They were ranked 15th at the 2018 World Championship after they suffered three defeats in the group stage.
