The 1998 FIFA World Cup final was the final match of the

round of 16, Denmark in the quarter-finals and the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals. France finished top of Group C with three wins, before defeating Paraguay in the round of 16, Italy in the quarter-final, and Croatia in the semi-final. The final took place in front of 75,000 supporters, with an estimated 1.3 billion watching on television, and was refereed by Said Belqola
from Morocco.

Before the match, speculation surrounded the fitness of striker

injury time, striking the ball low into the net following a pass by Patrick Vieira
, to complete a 3–0 win for France.

France's win was their

open-top bus tour by the French players. France followed up their victory by winning their next major tournament at UEFA Euro 2000
. Ronaldo's fitness for the match and his initial omission and later reinstatement on Brazil's teamsheet became a subject of ongoing journalistic interest following the match, with analysis continuing more than 20 years later.

The 1998 FIFA World Cup was the 16th edition of the World Cup, FIFA's football competition for men's national teams, held in France between 10 June and 12 July 1998.[1][2] The finals featured 32 teams for the first time, up from 24 in the 1994 World Cup.[3] Both France and Brazil qualified automatically for the tournament – France as hosts and Brazil because they had won the tournament in 1994.[4] The remaining 30 spots were decided through qualifying rounds held between March 1996 and November 1997, organised by the six FIFA confederations and involving 168 teams.[4][5] In the finals, the teams were divided into eight groups of four with each team playing each other once in a round-robin format. The two top teams from each group advanced to a knock-out stage.[6] The game was played at the Stade de France, in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, an 80,000-capacity stadium which was purpose-built for the 1998 FIFA World Cup because there were no previously existing venues large enough to accommodate the final.[7]

Brazil had won the previous World Cup in the United States in 1994, defeating

Sweden and Bulgaria.[10] However, they had followed this up with a run to the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 1996, in which they were beaten in a penalty shoot-out by the Czech Republic. France's midfielder Zinedine Zidane had been tied for third place in the 1997 FIFA World Player of the Year contest and was labelled by former Brazilian forward Pelé as "one of the players to watch" at the 1998 World Cup.[11] Before the tournament, Aimé Jacquet, the manager of France, told reporters that his team were "here to win the World Cup, nothing less".[11] The two teams had met twice previously in the World Cup – in the semi-final of the 1958 tournament, which Brazil won 5–2, and the quarter-final in 1986 when France won in a penalty shoot-out after the game finished 1–1 after extra time.[12][13][14] Their most recent meeting was in the 1997 Tournoi de France, in a game which finished 1–1.[12]

The match ball used at the tournament was the Adidas Tricolore, which was specifically made for the World Cup. The tricolour flag and Gallic rooster, traditional symbols of France were used as inspiration for the design.[15] More than 20 drafts had been proposed by the Adidas design team before the definitive version was approved.[16]

injury time, after he had been fouled by Tapia.[23] Marcelo Salas pulled a goal back for Chile in the second half, but Ronaldo then scored again to seal a 4–1 Brazilian win.[22] In the quarter-finals they played Denmark at the Stade de la Beaujoire on 3 July.[24] Denmark scored the first goal two minutes into the game through Martin Jørgensen, with Bebeto equalising eight minutes later. Brazil then took the lead with a goal by Rivaldo on 27 minutes, completing a move involving Dunga and Ronaldo. Brian Laudrup levelled the scores five minutes into the second half, but Rivaldo scored again 30 minutes before the end to seal a 3–2 win for Brazil.[25]
Brazil's semi-final was against the Netherlands at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.[26] Ronaldo gave Brazil the lead shortly after half-time, but Patrick Kluivert equalised for the Netherlands three minutes before the end. The game went to extra time, with the golden goal rule in effect.[a] There was no further scoring, however, and the game was settled by a penalty shoot-out.[28] The two sides took their kicks alternately with Brazil kicking first and the first five penalties were all scored, giving Brazil a 3–2 lead.[26] Brazilian goalkeeper Cláudio Taffarel then saved penalties from Phillip Cocu and Ronald de Boer with Dunga scoring again for Brazil, which meant Brazil won the shoot-out 4–2 and progressed to the final.[26][28]

France were drawn in Group C at the finals, alongside Denmark, Saudi Arabia and South Africa.[17] They began their campaign on 12 June against World Cup debutants South Africa at the Stade Vélodrome. In a match which Richard Williams of The Guardian said they "dominated throughout", France won 3–0 with a goal in the first half from Christophe Dugarry, a 77th minute own goal by South Africa's Pierre Issa and a last-minute strike by Thierry Henry.[29] Their second game was against Saudi Arabia at the Stade de France on 18 June. Henry gave France the lead in the first half, scoring from a

Stade Gerland in Lyon on 24 June. France took the lead on 13 minutes when Youri Djorkaeff converted a penalty after Jes Høgh fouled Trezeguet. Denmark then won a penalty shortly before half-time for a Vincent Candela foul on Jørgensen which was scored by Michael Laudrup. In the second half, Emmanuel Petit scored with a low shot into the corner of the Danish goal to seal a 2–1 victory and first place in the group.[31]

France's round-of-16 opponents were

Stade Félix-Bollaert in Lens on 28 June. In a match labelled a "real stinker" by Williams, with France described as "extraordinarily inept", there were no goals during the 90 minutes of normal time and the first period of extra time. With six minutes remaining, France broke the deadlock, Laurent Blanc scoring the FIFA World Cup's first ever golden goal to seal a 1–0 win and a place in the quarter-finals.[32][33] There, they met Italy, the losing finalists from 1994, at Stade de France on 3 July. There were no goals during normal time and no golden goal, so the game was decided by a penalty shoot-out.[34] With France taking the first penalty, both sides scored their openers, before goalkeepers Gianluca Pagliuca and Fabien Barthez saved a penalty each, from Lizarazu and Demetrio Albertini respectively. The next five were all scored to leave France 4–3 ahead with one Italian penalty remaining. Luigi Di Biagio struck the crossbar with his kick and France advanced to the semi-finals with a 4–3 shoot-out win.[35] They returned to the Stade de France on 8 July for a semi-final against Croatia. After a goalless first half, there were two goals in quick succession shortly after half-time as Davor Šuker gave Croatia the lead before Lilian Thuram equalised for France. Thuram then gave France the lead on 70 minutes and, despite Blanc being sent off five minutes later for violent conduct towards Slaven Bilić, France held on for a 2–1 win and a place in the final.[36][37] Blanc's red card was the only one he received in his entire career, and meant that he was suspended for the final. Bilić's reaction implied that Blanc had struck him on the head in the incident, but video replays showed that the impact had been to his chest or chin, and the incident is often cited as one of the most controversial in the competition's history.[38][39]

Pre-match

Brazil was considered the favourites by bookmakers before the match, with odds of 4–6 for them to win the tournament, compared with 6–5 for France.[40]

Team selection

In what was later described by writers for

UTC), 72 minutes before kick off, with Edmundo named in his place. Reporters for the BBC and other media received the news shortly after 8 p.m. and had not expected this development, with John Motson describing scenes of "absolute mayhem and chaos" in the commentary box. At 8:18 p.m., however, Brazil submitted a modified teamsheet with Ronaldo's name reinstated.[50] It was revealed several years later that Ronaldo had suffered a convulsive fit on the afternoon of the final, had lost consciousness and spent three hours in hospital, but decided shortly before the match began that he still wished to play.[51]

With the exception of Cafu, who had been suspended for Brazil's semi-final match and returned in place of Zé Carlos, Brazil therefore named an unchanged side with Edmundo on the substitutes' bench.[26][51][52] Blanc was suspended following his semi-final red card and his place in the French team was taken by Frank Leboeuf.[53] Otherwise, France named an unchanged team.[37][52]

Match

First half

France kicked off the match at 9 p.m. local time, in front of an attendance of 75,000 and an estimated global television audience of 1.7 billion.

touch-line and started running towards goal; from the left-hand edge of the penalty area he passed it to his right. Barthez almost tipped the ball into his own goal but was able to catch it before it crossed the line.[60][65] Brazil won a corner on 23 minutes, which was taken by Leonardo into the penalty area.[66] Sampaio directed a powerful header towards the goal, but it was aimed straight at Barthez who saved it.[60]

Zidane gave France the lead just before the half-hour mark, outjumping Leonardo to connect with a header from an in-swinging corner from the right taken by Petit.[67] Four minutes later, Ronaldo received the ball following a long pass from Dunga, but Barthez punched his shot clear. Ronaldo and Barthez collided with each other during the incident; both needed assistance from medics but were able to continue the game.[68] Baiano received the first yellow card of the match on 33 minutes for a foul on Djorkaeff.[69] French captain Didier Deschamps was then shown a yellow card four minutes later for a diving challenge on Rivaldo.[70] On 41 minutes, Petit had a chance to score from 12 yards (11 m) when a pass forward by Christian Karembeu rebounded to him in space after hitting the back of Baiano's feet. Baiano recovered, however, to deflect the Frenchman's shot wide of the goalpost.[60][71] Shortly before first-half injury time, Thuram sent the ball upfield from deep within his own half, which was missed by the Brazilian defenders and reached Guivarc'h, one-on-one with Taffarel. The goalkeeper blocked his shot behind for a corner, however.[72] France won another corner a minute later, which was taken on the left by Djorkaeff into the penalty area, where Zidane once again headed the ball into the goal, through the legs of Roberto Carlos, to give France a 2–0 half-time lead.[60][73][74]

Second half

The second half began with a Brazil substitution as Denílson replaced Leonardo.[75] Marcel Desailly received a yellow card in the 49th minute for dissent, after the referee had penalised him for a foul on Cafu.[60][76][77] On 51 minutes, Bebeto took a corner from the right-hand side which reached Denílson, who fell down as his attempted shot went wide of the goal while Deschamps was also challenging for the ball. Brazil's players appealed for a penalty, but Belqola did not award it.[78] A minute later, Dunga had a shot from outside the penalty area which went wide of Barthez's goal.[79] Karembeu was shown a yellow card on 55 minutes for a foul from behind on Cafu.[80] Rivaldo took the resulting free-kick short towards Roberto Carlos, who ran to the left edge of the penalty area before crossing it in, where it reached Ronaldo.[81] He shot from close range but Barthez saved.[60] On 57 minutes, France made a change when Alain Boghossian came on in place of Karembeu.[82] Three minutes later, Roberto Carlos took a long throw-in from the left-hand side, which Barthez failed to catch near the edge of his penalty area, allowing Bebeto to take a shot, but Desailly blocked it.[83]

On 63 minutes, Guivarc'h was one-on-one with Taffarel following what FIFA commentators described as a "mistake" by the Brazilian defence, but he fired his shot wide of the goal.[60][84] Three minutes later Guivarc'h was taken off, as Jacquet brought on Dugarry in his place.[85] On 68 minutes, Desailly made a sliding tackle on Cafu which was given as a foul by the referee. Belqola showed him a second yellow card, which meant he was sent off and France had to play the last 20 minutes with only 10 men.[60][86] Desailly was only the third player to be sent off in a World Cup final after Argentina's Pedro Monzón and Gustavo Dezotti against West Germany in Rome in 1990.

After 74 minutes, Edmundo was brought on by Zagallo, replacing César Sampaio.[87] A minute later, France made a defensive substitution, bringing on Patrick Vieira in place of Djorkaeff.[60] On 82 minutes, Dugarry was through on goal with only Taffarel to beat, but his shot went wide of the goal.[88] Brazil had a chance to score in second-half injury time when Denílson's shot hit the crossbar.[89] Two minutes later, France created a final chance on the counterattack when Dugarry cleared Denílson's corner kick and found Vieira open on the left. Vieira then put his Arsenal teammate Petit through on goal with a first-touch through ball, and Petit finished low to Taffarel's left.[90] Petit's goal was the 1000th in French national team history[91] and was the final kick of the game, sealing a 3–0 victory.[77]

Post-match

France's win was their first World Cup title, becoming the seventh out of – as of 2022 – eight different countries to win the tournament. They also became the sixth team to win the competition as hosts and the first since Argentina in 1978. It was only the second time Brazil had lost a World Cup final, with the first being their 2–1 upset loss to Uruguay at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in the final match of 1950 known as the Maracanaço (similarly, this marked Brazil's first World Cup final loss in a knockout format).[1] The 3–0 scoreline was also Brazil's largest loss in the World Cup until their 7–1 defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup semi-final at the Mineirão in Belo Horizonte.[93]

French president Jacques Chirac, the International Olympic Committee president Juan Antonio Samaranch, the newly-elected FIFA president Sepp Blatter and his outgoing predecessor João Havelange, UEFA president Lennart Johansson, and co-president of local organizing committee Michel Platini were among those present at the stands during the awards ceremony. President Chirac handed the trophy to French captain Deschamps.[94]

Millions of French supporters celebrated their team's victory in Paris throughout the night, with an estimated 1.5 million on the Champs-Élysées alone as players' names and faces along with celebratory messages were projected onto the Arc de Triomphe. It was reported that such scenes had not been seen there since Paris' liberation from Nazi German occupation in late August 1944 during World War II, including Charles de Gaulle's parade down the same avenue on 26 August.[95]

The next day, the Champs-Elysées was also packed with fans as the French players made an

open-top bus tour down the avenue.[96] The celebrations continued through to Tuesday, France's national Bastille Day holiday, with Chirac inviting the team to a garden party at the Élysée Palace following the Bastille Day military parade and praising the nation's solidarity during a speech there.[97][98] The day after the final, L'Équipe led its front page with the banner headline Pour L'Éternité (For Eternity), with that 13 July edition becoming and remaining the most-sold edition in the newspaper's history with over 1.6 million copies sold.[99]

Ronaldo's fitness for the match and his initial omission and later reinstatement on Brazil's teamsheet became a subject of ongoing journalistic interest following the match, with analysis continuing more than 20 years later.

nervous breakdown during the tournament, and some players also said that team doctor Lidio Toledo had cried about Ronaldo's condition when he encountered him in the dressing room.[101] Toledo did not sign him off as unfit however, later saying "imagine if I stopped him playing and Brazil lost, at that moment I'd have to go and live on the North Pole."[102]

France followed up their victory by

winning the UEFA Euro 2000 held in the Netherlands and Belgium.[104] Brazil took the Copa América title in 1999, and then won the next World Cup in Japan and South Korea in 2002.[105][106] France were eliminated in the group stage at the 2002 tournament, becoming the first World Cup holders to be eliminated without reaching the knockout stage since Brazil in 1966. [107] They returned to the final in 2006, losing to Italy and being eliminated at the group stage again in 2010, before winning their second World Cup in 2018 with Deschamps as coach.[1]
